Signed M. Kelly James O'Connor Esq., Solicitor, 57 Dame St., Dublin. 3 Ordinary visit on Monday permits
3 persons for 20 minutes. Ask
for permission for 4 persons
— my mother,brother, sister, wife —
for a longer period. Ask D. Rynd to write to Mrs. E Mac-
Queen, 98 Hyndford Rd, Bloomfield
Belfast - am old parishioner of her
father's — to tell her that her son is
in Mountjoy for desertion. He would
like to know if she has received any of
his allotment, what her circumstances
are at present. He much regrets the trouble
he has caused her. He leaves Mountjoy Jan 19 th
& will be taken to Victoria Barracks
Belfast. If D.S. doesn't get a reply within
one week she might come to visit the
prisoner. I hope Mclave is visited every
day. Get E. O'Duffy or McCarthy to
check and oil my bicycle & the other
plaything As much chocolate in the smallest possible
space. There may be a chance. I have
received all the news &
am delighted & thankful that Demeen is saved to
us, & well again, God bless him. I am in excellent spirits & health & 4 count everyone to be perfectly happy &
Xmas & not to worry about me in the
least. I have no expectation of getting
out before March 31 st. I am looking forward to Monday
all the time. After that it will be to the
letter & then to the next visit & so on
till I am out again. I do hope that my
imprisonment won't damp my dear ones'
spirits at Xmas. I am in excellent
form - fatter than I have ever been in
my life. A very very happy Xmas to all my
dear ones. I shd. like to be there with them,
but it can't be helped. I am more thankful
than I can say that my wee son is spared,
how small a matter is this little term
of imprisonment when one thinks
of that. I hope that as soon as ever
it is possible, we shall all be together
in my mother's house. I know my
mother will like being in Dublin again.
I imagine that the place she lived in as a
child will be near Phoenix Park. My dear ones will be doing me an ill
turn if they go worry about me
in stead of being perfectly happy as
I am thinking of the visit on Monday.
