My Dear Peter, Delighted to receive
your ever welcome letter
today containing the good
news that we will see you
next week for certain.
I am writing a few lines
to the Governor this evening
telling him that you are
coming next week I am
sure he will be delighted.
I am going to Dunboyne
this evening to attend a 2
2.
committee meeting regarding
Cookery Classes which are
starting next week in the
old school. Our nurse's
meeting is tomorrow evening.
Tom Bracken was married
on last Wednesday. It was
a very nice, quiet wedding
no wreaths or veils or bouquets
nor white silk or satin.
McCarthy sent the carriage
with them to the chapel.
Miss Walshe gave the wedding
breakfast. Hugh Mullaly was
best man and Lillie Murray
was bridesmaid.
They are living in the
front lodge. I wonder
what will you say when
you hear that George Moran
is listed as a favourite in the Dublin Fusiliers. Himself
and Little were having a
good time drinking before
this. So I hear that the old man cleared him.
Don’t say anything about
this if you write to Padraig
as it wasn’t there I heard the
news. I didn’t get any word
of how Mrs Farrell was yet.
I expect a letter in the morning.
I won’t send the Drogheda
or sport tomorrow, as they
will be here when you come.
Bridget says she will give
you a rare feed in the mornings. 3

I got a new tyre and tube
for my bicycle as the other
one blew up and left me
on the road. Before I
close this letter I must
wish you every joy from
all here as today is your
birthday. Many happy
returns of same to you.
I have tobacco here for you lb/> also socks and gloves.
I will now say a fond good bye
to you with best love from all
here. May God
Bless & Protect you is the
sincere prayer of your fond
Aunt & Sister. 4 Driver Peter Mooney
