1 1 June, 1916. My dearest love. You’ll have to let me
off with a very short note today
as I am awfully rushed and
have been all day, partly business
and partly arrangements for coming
events. Glad you fixed up the
motor for me and am much obliged
for your good offices in the matter.
About the ring, I think what I have
selected will be all right and I don’t
think it will look too imposing. In any 2 case you’re worthy of the best I can get
for you. The time you suggest will
of course suit me that is 9:30 new
time but remember we shall have to
catch train at Portarlington at
4 o’clock new time and I presume will
have to leave Togherstown about 2
pm. That will however give us plenty
of time I think. Tourist arrangements
in the South are all off I’m afraid
so we must try and manage as best
we can by car as the motor coaches
will not be running until 1st July.
We will make for Glengarriff anyhow
and chance our arm from there as
to getting on to Killarney by the coast
route. I haven’t time to write any
more now although I could spend
a few more minutes anyhow telling
you how I love you. Do you
need me to do that though? I
hope that by now you know me
enough to feel sure of my sentiments
in that respect anyhow. Don’t
forget ring card this evening I send you my warmest love and
kisses, my dear dear May Your loving James. Shall go to Holy Communion on Sunday as 3 you suggest. Please remember me in
yours and pray hardfor me. I kiss
you again.
James
