P41/2/12/1 P.S. I suppose the Censor is saying to himself, as he has every
night to say, yes, written from a padded cell! The Dirty Port Sunday 4.2.23
A Cara A few lines in answer to
your latest masterpiece. I think you should
have been made Govenor of the six
countys, you see, I wish you well such
an exciting time you would have. Anyhow
it would help to ???
biting sarcasm of yourself and the famous
Miss Blake. I hope she told you that
I am a jam pot collector. You see I
must do something for a living and work
is scarce. If I could get back to my
home in Craig's Kingdom, but sure their is
no good in dreaming of things which may
never mature. Jimmy knows as well as
Miss Blake does that I am a cracked
mug without a handle, sporting the Belleek
Pottery trade mark. As I have ceased
corresponding with that lady. I would
like if you could see your. way to
become a medium for this time, and 2 8/2/23 Thursday Forgot to post this on Monday. Can you f or give hurried scrawl h warn her to lie low, the reason for this
warning is the fellow who discovered the
tomb of Tutenkhamen, is supposed to be on
his way to Gortahook, as he has good
reason for believing, that the animated
corpse of Tutenkhamen wife is living in
a cave near Cashels girl school. You might
also tell her, that the animashe
lost in Bundoran last summer, was found
a few days ago, and that she can
have it, on applying to Mr Penddown her way in the Summer, and
if you hear a rumbling sound, from
that direction, you are to understand, that
it is she arriving in no mans land. Are you allowed newspapers. if so, I
could send you on our local rags. I wrote to some Ballyshannon Boys,
who are in Newbridge, of Course they
never write to me but I don't blame them. Tell Mr Larkin that I am going to
write him some day in the near future:
I am saying this with the name
that my best friends know me by. Yes etc The Savage
