1 This was late for the
post last night I think
you will have it tonight
(Sat) I have just opened it
here the P.O.M.G. are to tell
you the reason of delay
Love from May Togherstown, Ballinea, Mullingar 14-1-1916 My dearest James, I was delighted
to get your letter this morn,
you were very good to
write so soon I was not
expecting it tho' I was 2 hoping you would I am
quite looking forward to
seeing you the week after
next, I did feel a wee bit
lonely after you leaving
and you may be quite sure
I would not have consented
to marry you if I did
like you very much &
that for some time but
I never thought I would be
so fortunate as to get a warm corner in your
heart. I do hope dear
James that at some time
I will be able to show
how much I appreciate
your love. Mother has decided
on going to see Jennie
Monday next had a letter
from her yesterday saying
she was not feeling so well
& would like to see her
she expects to be back about 3 Monday I hope she will
anyway so that I can
get up to see you, if Mrs.
S. is ready then. Your mother wrote me
a very nice letter I am
delighted she is so pleased
with me, I'm sure we
will be very happy together.
I will write to her tomorrow. Bye Bye now dearest James fondest love,
from May
