             3.  You must have found my last letter very<lb/>dry so I'll try to make up for it this<lb/>time by telling you all the news I can think<lb/>of about home. To begin with  Cornelie g ot<lb/>a fit of growing since you saw him last<lb/>and he is three or four inches taller now<lb/>than he was in the summer so you'll<lb/>hardly know him the next time you see<lb/>him. It might have been that he grew<lb/>with importance for being arrested. Poor Nellie<lb/>didn't grow a scrap and she still divides<lb/>her time between the collage and the Bung.<lb/>She stayed with Katie for the first week<lb/>after Josie left before Molly got holidays<lb/>I don't know how they'll run the Bungalow<lb/>at all without Josie. The few times I was<lb/>there Katie and Mollie were trying to do<lb/>the cooking and they weren't any better<lb/>than I would be at the job. Mollie's<lb/>fingers were all burned from trying to<lb/>bake a cake for Willie in the range<lb/>and Katie was vowing that she'd have

             4.  to get a maid when Mollie's holidays<lb/>were over. She didn't get the maid yet<lb/>but she invites all her friends in<lb/><seg type="unclear">luin</seg>to stay a few days with her. When<lb/>my mother wrote last she had Ella O'Brien<lb/>over with her. Josie was delighted that they<lb/>found out what a loss she was in some<lb/>way. I hadn't any letter from her since<lb/>she left but very likely she won't write<lb/>until she arrives in France and very likely<lb/>she spent a few days in London with Nora.<lb/><hi rend="underline"><hi rend="underline"> Sun </hi></hi>. As you can see from Mrs.<lb/>Browne's letter enclosed, Tomas is in<lb/>Mountjoy since Thursday. I didn't get this<lb/>letter until this morning and you may<lb/>have heard it from home before this.<lb/>I expect a letter from my mother very<lb/>soon. I wrote to Tomas today but it<lb/>was a pity that I didn't know he was<lb/>there when out yesterday as I could<lb/>have told the Mahony's and those.<lb/>I called to Whelan's yesterday - they were       
            <pb n="3" facs="L1916_6245_img_0_3"/>
             thinking that I hadn't come back at<lb/>all. Leo is just recovering from a<lb/>heavy cold. When I was in noboody but<lb/>Mrs. Whelan and Lizzie was up. After<lb/>going out on Sat week I didn't see Sheila<lb/>O'Brien - she had a very heavy cold and<lb/>was allowed see nobody but the doctor.<lb/>I don't think she was very bad tho. for<lb/>she sent me a card to call on her<lb/>yesterday.  Whelan's heard somewhere that you<lb/>were removed from Dromboe but as the<lb/>rumour wasn't confirmed I thought that<lb/>I'd write to the old address.   Beannacht Dé leat<lb/>Susie   P.S. Did you hear that <seg type="unclear">Pa </seg>nand <seg type="unclear">Dave </seg>Connor<lb/>were arrested?

              Mr. Charles Daly,<lb/>Dromboe Castle,<lb/>Stranorlar,<lb/>Co. Donegal.
