A letter from Peter Mooney to Miss Mooney on an unknown date.
good health again, it would be very
bad if anything happened to her now.
I suppose that is the reason I did
not hear from them before now. Michael
Braken will go to hell altogether now that
he has such a good price for his land.
I am sure Connolly will hold a tight
grip on him now. I was glad to hear
Father Brady received my letter alright.
I hope to hear from him soon. I do
not want anything in the way of clothing
as I have enough to last me for a long
time to come + too much surplus stuff causes
a large amount of cursing when we come
to pack up. I will write to Micky O’Neill
in a few days he will be surprised to
have a letter from me I am sure.
Tell Miss Bondam & her sister I wish to be
remembered to them and I know they say
an odd prayer for me may God Bless
them they are so good. 2 Miss Mooney.

Orphaned at age 7, Peter Mooney and his sister Katie Mooney were raised by their uncle William and his wife Mary in Caulstown. While there are no surviving enlistment papers for Peter, his War Badge Index Record shows his enlistment date as 18 October 1915. He served with the Royal Artillery and later transferred to the Royal Engineers where he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. He served in several places at the Western Front, including Ypres, St. Omer and Passchendael. Peter and Kate were avid correspondents. This letter part of a collection of over ninety surviving letters.
