1 3 Coast Hill Queenstown June.19.1916 My Own Dearest Jim So your shifted
after all. Now Jim What-
everyoudo I dont want
you to feel down hearted.
Keep your spirit up & the
Great God in his mercy is
Great. We wont despair
yet. More mind cheer
up if you'll get downhearted
you will make me worse
than what I am. I dare
say you have seen Liel & Mom
by now. They will tell you
all.
2 Tis strange your not getting
my letters. Mick Leahy
have the same to say
about his mothers. I can't
understand it. is he &
O'Brien with you I hope
they are for they would
be company for you: Now Lily will make
arrangements with some one
outside to visit you &
see to you & dont at all
fear him But everything
that possibly can be done
will be done for you love
I'm giving you great hopes
& another thing if you are
kept there very long Bob
& myself &maybe Patrick
will go over to see you
for we are all dying to
see you. I haven't told
your Father anything about
you up to the present
God is good & Blessed Mother
you may be home before
him yet. Poor Bob he
misses you terribly We
havent done a thing since
you left. You must have
felt in a terrible way
when you heard of this shift
again that's why I'm 3 warning you not to despair
don't take it to heart Jim
for mercy sake, that's
what I'm grieving for.
I will be dying for Liel &
Mom to come home to tell
me all about you. So I
will now conclude with
fondest Love from all
at home & again asking
you to cheer up & with
God's help you may be
with us sooner than what you
expect – is this dearest – Wish of your loving
Mother A. Fitzgerald
