Part of Ifor (Ivor) Leslie Evans - World War I Correspondence
Writes how strange it is that Ifor has ended up in the very same place as a Mr D. Evans who had stayed with John on his way back to Germany. He is sure that they will make each other's acquaintance soon. Mr Rees has only just recently heard from Mr D. Evans. He has asked for many things so John thinks they are in great straits; he doubts he will get anything he sends. John writes that the war is terrible; the sight of a Red Cross Ambulance train the previous Tuesday made him feel sick.
Rees, John.

The letter provides information on Ifor's movements; he went to the south of Germany in July when he left Gibbon's pension, in consequence of the war he was detained for being an Englishman in Nuremberg.

Letter from William Evans Hoyle,
Part of Ifor (Ivor) Leslie Evans - World War I Correspondence
A reply to a recent letter from Mr Evans. He finds it incredible that his son should be treated so, but recommends against publishing the letter as that could only spread ill feeling, which should be avoided. Mr Hoyle is sorry to hear that Ifor has been moved and suggests that Mr Evans next course of action should be to find out where he really is. He recommends trying the American Consul in Nuremberg via his counterpart in Rotterdam.

Letter sent by W. J. Evans to unknown recipient,
Part of Ifor (Ivor) Leslie Evans - World War I Correspondence
Explains he has heard through a Mr Desmund Warren of Dublin that around 27 August 1914, after a medical examination, Ifor (with others)was moved out of Nuremberg. Mr Warren was declared unfit for military service and released. Mr Evans hopes that Ifor is still able to stay in touch with the American Consul in Nuremberg, who has so far been very helpful. He has sent his son £25 through the American Consul at Rotterdam and hopes arrangements can be made through Nuremberg to get this sum to him.
Letter sent by W. J. Evans to Dr Hoyle,
Part of Ifor (Ivor) Leslie Evans - World War I Correspondence
Providing the address of Mr J. H. Hague in Holland. Mr Evans has already written to him to thank him for his services and express regret that this has resulted in him receiving unpleasant enquiries from the Foreign Office. He has written to Ifor to ask if he wishes the caution money (3000 marks) to be sent to him. Mr Evans trusts Ifor's judgement and wishes to do what he thinks best. However he has little trust in German Officialdom and suspects that any money sent will remain there.

Letter sent by W. J. Evans to Dr Hoyle,
Part of Ifor (Ivor) Leslie Evans - World War I Correspondence
He has received word from the mother of one of Ifor's fellow prisoners. She has informed Mr Evans that her son and two other Englishmen have been released on grounds of being unfit for military service. In the same post they also had a card from Mrs Dales informing them of her son's (B. J. Dale) release from prison and that he is now staying once again at Hotel Trfgle(?). Mr Evans is anxious owing to his own son having not yet being free from confinement and is concerned that he would appear to have been separated from those he has befriended. He asks Mr Dale to wire a friend in Copenhagen to see if any news can be obtained of Ifor's situation.

Letter from Desmond Warren, Dublin,

Writing to Mr Evans to tell how pleased he is to hear that Ifor has been moved to a military encampment.

Letter from Desmond Warren, Dublin,
Part of Ifor (Ivor) Leslie Evans - World War I Correspondence
Encloses a letter he has received from the Foreign Office concerning Ifor. He also writes that he believes that others imprisoned with Ifor are permitted out around the town. So he would expect that Ifor must also have a degree of freedom.
Warren, Desmund. Dublin.
Letter from Desmond Warren, Dublin,
Part of Ifor (Ivor) Leslie Evans - World War I Correspondence
A reply to a letter from Mr Evans. He writes that it was a great shock to his father to learn that Ifor was still detained with the civilian police. They were under the understanding that all the prisoners were to be moved to an encampment. Mr Warren explains that when he last saw Ifor he was not in Solitary confinement, as he had been in his first 3 days of detention. Furthermore he believes that judging from what Ifor says about being allowed out for 3 or 4 hours a day, discipline must have been relaxed somewhat.
Warren, Desmund. Dublin.
Letter from Desmond Warren, Dublin,
Part of Ifor (Ivor) Leslie Evans - World War I Correspondence
He writes to Mr Evans thinking it will ease his mind to learn that he knows for a certainty that the prisoners of war were to be placed in the hands of the military authorities, after a few days confinement. This should result in much better treatment. Mr Warren understands that the American Consul is willing to send money to prisoners of war; to his knowledge he has lent several Englishmen at Nuremberg money. Any money deposited with any American Consul on the continent can be paid out by another. Desmond writes that Ifor sees this as an excellent opportunity to learn German. He further states that he does not believe that his detention will last long.
Warren, Desmund. Dublin.

Letter from Desmond Warren, Dublin,
Part of Ifor (Ivor) Leslie Evans - World War I Correspondence
Writing with news of Mr Ifor L. Evans who he met in Nuremberg last month. He states that all Englishmen liable for military service were arrested and detained, but some (including himself) were set free after a medical officer had determined they were unfit for service. Desmond now believes that the prisoners have been moved to Nuremberg and explains he has been informed that they will be permitted some amount of liberty. He has passed Ifor's name on to the American Consul and (once in London)put his case to the Foreign Office, the latter is in the process of trying to arrange an exchange. Mr Warren encloses a message given to him by Ifor as well as papers given to him by the Foreign Office. He says that Ifor did not seem very down cast about his detainment and hopes that any further news of Ifor could be passed onto him.
Warren, Desmund. Dublin.
Part of Ifor (Ivor) Leslie Evans - World War I Correspondence
Writing to Mr Evans with regard to their previous correspondence during 1916 and 1917 about Ifor. He asks that if his son is still considering a university career, that Mr Evans contact him at his convenience. So his case can be considered in the recommendation process.
