1 No 2 Ashtown Villa. Blackhorse Lane, Phoenix Park. My dear Patrick I was delighted to get your
letter Saturday morning but
I am very disappointed you were
not here yourself but we cant help
You must only wait your turn
Mickey Dolan arrived home on
Friday. I am leaving here
and going to live with Nellie
in the above address. She has
taken a big house so that
will be our home when you
arrive, it is just at Smiths 2 the dairy people, so if you
get this letter before you come
I will be gone but I am not
sure what day I am going
yet I am delighted you are able
to get to mass every day
that alone will cheer you up
and when you are in the
best of health we have
a lot to be thankful for
but I trust in God you will
be home soon for I am dying
to see you once more
I am grand myself I feel
young again since the nice 3 weather has come in. All
the doolans looks fine that
Poor Mikey is limping
still but he wont be long
until he is alright. I was
speaking to the Mc Nultys they
told me I won't know you
when you come home you
are quite official a favourite
with all Jamesy sends his
best love and Marie Katie & Nellie
Frank they are delighted
with their new home it is
so convenient to everything 4 I think I will say no more
now only I hope by the
time this reaches you
you will be home here
if possible
but it could happen. Good Bye dear Son
write soon if you are
there with Love from
all your Fond Mother . PS. Enclosed is a PO. for 1s.
