1 P88149(1) 99 Ashted Road,
Birmingham October 2. 1916 My dear Jim, Very many thanks
for letter received this morning
and so hasten to let you know
that I am still in the old spot.
It is indeed very good of you
to remember me for I am
sure you are very busy &
have lots of correspondence. We have been back
here since first week in
Sept and as you may guess
don't like it a bit. However
there is Xmas in the future
to keep our hearts up. 2 We crossed over to Ireland on
the 28th August & spent the
29th roaming about Dublin.
I left Kingsbridge on the 3 o'clock.
The others remained till later.
Peg & Tess Williams saw you
in O'Connell St and were
overcome by a sudden fit of
shyness. I don't know what
came over them as they are not
usually given to that complaint.
My sister & I were in Dublin
about the 22nd on our way
to Warrenpoint. We saw
all the sights of course. You are very lucky to
be out of Frongoch. I think
they have not a very pleasant
3 Parliament opens, something
will happen. Do you hear from
B.Doheny? She had a
rather exciting time in 2nd
last air raid. She was staying
a week-end in Woolwich &
was thrown out bed
violently. She the Zepp
being brought in flames.
We are expecting them here
in B'ham; at any rate the
streets are darkened enough.
It is horrible at night trying
to pick one's steps along &
bumping & (nearly) swearing. Well, this is longer than
I intended but its an old
failing of mine; so please
excuse it. Hoping that you
are well. Yours V. sincerely
Peg O'Sullivan
