1 P41/7/16 Monday night. Líam a Cara Dílis Received your letter on Thursday last. begora we were
beginning to think did you forget the home address. two to the Bungalow and
none here. But as you say it could not be helped. So we will forgive you
this time. I think I have good idea what the nature of Mollie's proposal
that should receive such consideration was like, although Mollie hasn't
enlightened me any. What if it twere K.M.? Well. well. how will I ever thank
you enough for the beautiful article. how thoughtful of you to make it so
perfect. - you Hun - what were you up to all at all. Twas well I didn't
go over myself. I sent Bertie over and Ned Mahony said no he hadn't any
message for me. Can it be possible he is making a mistake. What harm but i was
delighted with visions of my parcel . Such guessing as to what it would be. Some
people went so far as to say twas some musical instrument on a minature
scale. Oh what a land I got last night when Bertie returned. Didn't the rest
laugh though. We had news of Tom ay last so far he is alright.
