 P41/23/3 Dromboe CastleStranorlar, Tirconail Jan 18th 23 A Nora a cara, If you were pleased to get my letter Iwas at least as much so to get yours. Tis so pleasantyou know, to hear from a friend, especially a Kerryfriend, in a place like this. And then it takes sucha long time at present to get a reply to a letterhome that I might almost as well be away inS. Africa. I would hardly be a true Kerryman,I suppose if I didn't agree with you in whatyou say about the 'Kingdom'. Of course peoplesay we are very Clannish and things likethat. Well, perhaps, tis true enough, but it doesneither us or anybody else any harm. Thanksfor emphasising the all. I hope so but tisrather doubtful so far as some of the partyis concerned. I remember John o' Connell alright. I met himonce after '16. Do you know where his chum DonnyDaly is now or what he's doing? I heard that MeeseKane got married last week also & to a C.sussein girlI suppose you know them both. Ifeaneis is an old palof mine. I got a bit of a shock some time agowhen I saw an announcement of what I thoughtwas Jerome Riordan's death in the 'Independent'. Itmust have been a mistake though for I've just seenin today's paper about another Jeremiah Riordan whodied a few weeks ago. The live 'Jeremiah' must havebeen mixed up somehow. As well as being a cousinJerome is an old friend of mine and I'd be verysorry if anything happened him. I'm sorry to hear of Mrs Rice's illness. That's theworst part of war — the mothers always suffer morethan their sons. I remember she was wild that Ididn't call when I was in K.mare one evening lastsummer. I was there once before but hadn't timethat evening. Of course I should know all the Sullivansaround Farranfore, but somehow I can't rememberwho your friend Kathleen is. Say 'me' to her any —way, and tell her remember me to my friends aroundher place. I will be delighted to hear any newsthat she brings you from there. Judging the pen—pictures of the Special Corres—pondent of the 'Independent' which are appearingat present Kerry has indeed gone through the millsince we saw it last. You asked me if we seethe papers at all. Oh yes we do and I will bevery pleased to get Dublin Opinion. I used likeit very much except for one Susie sent mebefore Xmas I haven't seen a copy of it for ages.Any joural in that line will be very welcomehere. Ceannaic leat go foillDo cara Cormac Ua Dálaigh P.S.I'm enclosing an answer to Jenny'sletter along with this. C.U.D.
