 Oct 31st I got your letter of the 27thyesterday. That acccident at Firies wasa sad one indeed. Tis too bad about poorMossie Casey but tis fortunate that more liveswere not lost. By the look of things I think we are notfar from war again. Well we can faceit with more confidence this time & with betterprospects of success. I am sorry in a waythat I was not able to give another visithome but if I did it would meanso much time lost from my work here.I might perhaps be able for time. Anyway I am satisfied with havingseen ye at all & with Gods help itwont be long until I get an opportunityagain. When I go home next I hope thatI wont have cause to be ashamed ofthis part of the country. To tell you thetruth I was so much ashamed of it whenI was down that I did not care goinghome again until I had something to sayfor myself. Of course twas not myfault that twas so but I felt it all the same. I had a letter from Katty A yesterdayMichael is to arrive in Dublin today Ihope he will be sent on to me. You knowFree wants to get hold of him too. Wehad an argument about him whenwe met in Dublin. I have firstclaim though. Tis too bad that Fr. Murphy istaking such a view of things but he'llchange when he cools down. Eventho he doesn't what need will hecare when hes in a I have no time moreI hope everybody & everything athome is going on well. I had aletter from Kathleen Shanahan yesterday shetold me that Harry & Jerome Riordanarrived at Whelans after I left.I am very sorry that I did notmeet them especially HenryI suppose Tomas has not been homesince. By the way did he send myfather that razor yet?Never mind about that I am only sorry that I am not ableto send more but this truce &trotting up to Dublin has been abit expensive. I may be able todo better when the war is over. Thedifficulty then will be in getting itthrough.I will write you soonagain Slain LeatCormac Charlie Daly Letter from Charlie Daly to Ellen Daly, 31 October 1921Letter from Charlie Daly to Ellen Daly, 9 November 1921Letter on behalf of Chief of Staff to All Divisional Commandants, 30 November 1921Christmas Card from Cis Doherty to Charlie Daly, [December 1922]Letter from H.
