1 What do
you think
of those
articles by
my judge.
They're —
we all say. M. Above lines written sideways across top left of page just above the salute Same Kip, Monday 2nd. My Dear Jim Of course its ever so long
since I got your last letter & that
excellent cake — which came in
perfect form. The old tables as you
knew them no longer exist but that
didn't hinder me from sharing your
cake with Colm DD George & Morkan.
They all enjoyed it and thought you were
still a packet. It isn't my fault that
I haven't acknowledged it long ago
but most of my letters have been
meeting with accidents — a' dtuigeann tú?
I saw your letter to little Mr Dore about
the weddings & your fortune at nap
— was wondering if the explanation
was your superior staying power —
very likely it was so that your 2 winning was just taking it from them.
I only hope that they didn't borrow it back
like some others who need not
be mentioned. Things go on in
much the same way here, but there
have been some interesting happenings
lately, which the Censor's Department forbids
us to speak about. Even so the
Dublin Corporation meeting tomorrow will
give you some idea. Your old friends
continue to keep well — as I am writing this
I hear some one say 'good play on your
part' — and I wonder why it seemed
so funny to us, and Daly whwith his
I'm nothing — honestly. I'm addressing
this to your town house as very likely you'll
be back there by this time. Hope your lip
is alright - there were some doubts about
the accuracy of the description of the ailment. If you see May Gray don't fail to give her
my kindest regards whatever you may feel like
yourself. Even if you're not able to send
another cake for some time I hope you'll
write anyway. Goodbye. Yours sincerely Michael
