 "1. These P.Cs I purchased in Dfs [Dumfries] with the intention of sending them when I heard from you and I think this is the pick of the bunch. You seem to have had rather novel experiences to put it mildly, at present Drogheda is not bad, rifle shooting awaking me several times every night and sometimes you would believe the bullets were rebounding from the wall but they are not. Belfast was quiet the week end I came over and I was advised to travel by usual way as Holyhead was out of the question and Liverpool a very long sail but I only took a single and intend to return next Wednesday by Drogheda to" |
 " 2. Liverpool, the boats only sail twice a week. My reason for the change is that Specials & women ! searchers examine luggage at Bessbrook & I object to have mine searched by such people. I didn't know about it until I saw the notice in a paper a girl gave me in the train when I left Belfast. The men on the train were searched though nothing was found but fortunately the ladies were not though the two women were on the platform. When are you returning? I expect to be in Broxburn on Sat. evening, its too early a start leaving Dfs on Monday morning. In one of the Standards there was the notice of Kate Quinn's death R.I.P. She was" |

I saw Mary & Gertie in church but not to speak to just the Sunday before leaving.

Any correspondence that has arrived for me Aunt Mary asked "Well, is that from Miss Dunne?" She called me this morning and asked was I up and replying in the negative she said "Well this is from Miss Dunne, it has an Irish stamp", and she brought it up to the bedroom. The trains have been running to Cashel for more than a week, I saw [?]Dotie in the [?]Tileman."
