1 pm 14/6/16 19 Ranalagh Road, Friday night My dearest Jim, I sent you a parcel of food early in the week,
and we had sent you a parcel of clothes earlier. Let us know
next time you write whenever you write whether you
got them or not. I shall send another parcel tomorrow
of the rest of the things you asked for, and anything
else I can pick up. Let us know when writing
too what you would like particularly. Can you smoke
yet. Would you like some cooked meat, ham or
something. Do you want any more books. If we
send you cheese or that sort of thing, ought we send
you bread & butter too. Would you like bread & butter from
home. Must everything be cooked & ready to eat. Well, as to news. Min went home this morning.
She will only stay till Tuesday, she is having a
rest. She took Maura Power down with her, who is
going to stay there awhile. Martin also went who
has been up here since Monday. I am here alone
Nancy Power stays the nights always of course. I
am working for the exam. I have the Botany pass
on 14 th June (it has been put back) and Chemistry
September of course. Tis not very easy to work indeed.
Nell & Kate are still in Mountjoy. They are not being
sent to England after all I think. They may get out soon 2 as no one knows what there is against them. We can
see them every day, and they are having a fairly good
time. We also see our other friends such as
Sean Z & Dinny, who are all in splendid form.
Dick Hickey was in this evg. He left this letter
he took away your safety razor to have it fixed.
We will send it to you if you are allowed to
have it, or if you want it. Let us know too. I wonder if you got all the letters we wrote to you. If
you did you have all the news; otherwise you must
have missed a good deal of it. Agnes of course
is at home. Everything here is as usual, as
far as women go, the men of course are nil.
Maureen has been sacked from Charleville, of course
not till after June; otherwise everyone continues
as usual. There is no Feis in Wexford — no one
left in Wexford to work it. There will be an Oireactás,
I believe at the arranged time. Chris will be
married in the summer I think of course very
privately if at all, perhaps not at all if you are not all
home. Agnes will hardly be able to manage hers
unless she changes her affections. Of course she may
have her man out by then. We dont know yet.
Stan is out in Rathfarnham having a rest. Goodbye.
I shall send a parcel tomorrow. Send any message you
want here the next time you write anywhere.
Everyone keeps asking for you always. Much love. Phyllis.
