Ifor (Ivor) Leslie Evans - World War I Correspondence
Hoyle, William Evans. National Museum of Wales. Advanced search options
Writes that he understands Mr Evans'reasons for not paying out the bail money demanded of the German authorities. He suggests that if they send word to Ifor that they cannot send payment without saying why, the authorities may see that money won't be sent and release him. Like they have done with the other prisoners.
He has just received Mr Evans' letter and a telegram from Copenhagen. Mr Hoyle cannot offer any explanation for the message beyond what is contained in the telegram. However he expects the letter on which it is based to arrive in due course. He supposes the 5000 marks (£250) requested is a security for good behaviour and asks if any similar requests have been made of other prisoners known to Mr Evans. Mr Hoyle recommends not acting on the matter until the original letter is to hand.
Writes that he is pleased that W. J. Evans has had news of his son dated as recently 24 August 1914. He will attempt to send another postcard to Ifor again now that he has a more recent address for him.
Informing Mr Evans of the expense a Dr Mackeprang has incurred on his behalf. He thinks Mr Evans may wish to write to him himself when sending the money, so supplies his address.
