Thanks for letter received today. Returning a card instead of a letter as it is more certain to be received. 3000 marks is wanted to release ILE from confinement. ILE is well and cannot complain about his treatment, but he longs to be released. The prisoners are allowed to walk in the court every day for 3 hours and they can get supplies from the prison or the town. The Consul takes care of them. Please greet his parents.
Sent from Sinaia. Ifor has no news except that he has diarrhoea and the weather is overcast. He is expecting to see Mr Vaitila Bratiaun(?) and will then have a better idea of what his plans for the next 2 to 3 weeks will be.
Acknowledging receipt of Mr Evans letter of 8th instant on behalf of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He writes that the Foreign Office is doing everything in its power via the American Ambassador, to ensure the safety of British subjects stranded in Germany.
He writes that as soon as he received his letter he immediately wrote to Dr Hampe. He asked him to look into the fate of young Mr Evans and as soon as he hears anything from him he will send a telegram straight away. M. Mackeprang also fears that the war will end all international unions.
Letters and postcards sent by Ifor back home to his parents (with a single card to his grandmother) during his cycling trip through Germany in 1914. Everything in this series was written and sent prior to Ifor's arrest on 07 August and imprisonment in Nuremberg.
Correspondence between Ifor Leslie Evans and his parents (with one sent for his grandmother) during World War I while Ifor was detained in Germany. The vast majority of the series is made up of letters and postcards sent by Ifor L. Evans.
The collection consists almost entirely of correspondence predominately relating to Ifor L. Evans detainment in Germany during the Great War (1914-1918); letters and postcards between Ifor, his parents (Mr W. J. Evans and Mrs M. Evans) and grandmother; letters between Ifor, friends and others; correspondence between Ifor's parents and a range of individuals, mostly with regard to Ifor's situation; a series of letters to Mrs M. Evans from Mary Harold of Brae-Maray, Maeduff. The only material which is not correspondence is a loose selection of newspaper cuttings containing articles on German prisoners of war, as well as a few odds and ends (see series ILE/5 Miscellaneous for more details).
