An Colaiste 17ad Aibrean 1923 P41/5/4 A Mhaire Dil, Many thanks for your very welcome notewhich came to-day. You were very good towrite considering all your trouble, I wasdelighted to get it, and to see that you areall bearing up so well Susie came in last evening and shelooks real well, she is a bit thin, that isno wonder at all considering she was soill, but she fells quite strong now. She didall her exams to-day. She was examinedfirst thing in teaching - she got an IrishLesson Naomh Colm Cille, I was let in as aspecial favour to hear it, and shecertainly did splendidly, Sr Francis Xavier &the other nuns were delighted she did so well, indeed Irish is no trouble to Susie,she got through her reading and oralIrish well too, So Mother Malachy hasgiven her until Monday week (the scienceexam) and if she needs another weekshe will get it too, so that when shereturns for good she will be strong enoughto study for her final exam. She isjust now gone to Dunleary to see Sheila .O'B. She is going to stay at Whelan's to-nightand Florrie O'Mahony and herself intendto go to Galvins tomorrow. The Galvins arevery nice to her. She gets any amount of drives round the country! and they seem to do everything possible to make her feel bright, indeed she is a marvel she took the bad news so well but when I think of Charlie's lovely letter, you couldn't do otherwise, indeed he was a model in everyway. There was a letter from Tomas awaitingher here, but on opening it found that the censor had been generous enough to cut the letter in two, anyway in the part that came Tomas said he was in the best of health, & seemed to be getting on well. How are your Mother and Father?I am sure they both proud of the great honour they have though indeed your poor Mother will feel it for many a long day Susie was delighted to have your letters Nellie's made her laugh, she was a bit disappointed though, that your Mother did not write, but I am sure it is very hard for her. I do hope sheis feeling well and not worrying Charlie's letter to her should be the greatestconsolation. I must finish now, hoping you are all in good form. le grad mor Kathleen I forgot to tell you that Susie's newblack dress is very nice, it makes her look real tall Love to Nellie Nora & Nancy O ​​​​​​​from K May Daly Letter from Kathleen to May Daly, 17 April 1923Letter from May Daly to Liam Daly, 6 April 1923Letter from Kate Allman to May Daly, 15 April 1923 Kathleen Letter from Kathleen to May Daly, 17 April 1923 'An Coláiste, Our Lady of Mercy College, Carysfort, Blackrock, Dublin, Ireland ' Letter from Kathleen to May Daly, 17 April 1923
