Dublin 3 Decr 1915 My dearest Daddy. I can write you a more
sensible letter now. I had a very nice letter
from Miss Reilly this morning
and she says I may bring
Minnie home with me. I will get leave for four
days from Monday and will
be able to come down on
Sunday night. I flashed 2 for leave before Monday
I would have to go on Saturday
and come back on Tuesday so
I think we will get more
shooting the other way so you
see there is method in my
madness. Of course I may not go
out for some time but it is
better to take leave now and
of course if I do not go till
after Xmas I will get a
couple of days there as well. I was talking to Mr. White
yesterday and if you can
get the shoot on he will
come but I only asked him
provisionally (not thinking
of provisions). Also hope would
probably be able to come down
for the day and so we
might take up a few guns. I sent Bernie his parcel
yesterday afternoon and
enclose you Kavanagh's receipt
and post office receipt. I could not get glove
needles anywhere though I
tried two other places. I have got a full kit
and am quite ready 3 for any emergency now.
I had Capt. Graham's advice
about it and he gave it
from experience. You had
better send Miss Reilly a
wire when you gett this to
say you are satisified that
Minnie should come down
with me. Unless you get further
word from me expect
both of us at Moyvally
on Sunday night by night
mail. No news so with best love Your most affec Son Willie
