1 May 15th 1916 Dear Kate Many thanks for your very
nice letter of the 9th inst. which I received
in due course. I am very pleased to
hear that your are all enjoying good
health. You seem to have got on very
nicely with the tillage. John Ward
has certainly treated us very well.
I hope the Department will leave us
in peace as under the circumstances
I think we have done very well.
I was very pleased to hear that
Bryan Mc Cabe is getting o well on
the road of recovery. I hope you
will enjoy your visit to John & Mrs
Yourell's new home. I will have a
great time with him when I get
my leave. Mrs Pat Ward seem to be
doing things on a very grand scale.
It must be a very nice place now.
Matt Geraghty cannot be complimented
on his conduct he seems to have made 2 a very bad example of himself. I would feel very pleased if you could
manage to send me a small size Primus
stove it is very handy for boiling
water. I am sure the general Army & Navy
Stores could supply you with what I
need. Mr Moore seems to have gone
to the bad once more he is well paid.
I expect I will call him a traitor.
The Sinn Feiners must be getting a
strong hand mind you they will
want a lot of watching just now.
The Labour Union must be causing
some trouble too. I expect to see Mr
Whitworth leaving Heberstown
owing to the way they are carrying
on. The weather is simply beautiful
just now many a night I sleep out
I the open it is so very healthy you-
know. I will now say goodbye
& wish you all the very best of Good
luck. Good- Bye. P.Mooney I will write soon again. 3 Mrs K Mooney
