| Transcript | Portaferry 3rd May 1848 My dear John Your letter of the 18th March reached us on the 21 April and was gladly received. We were all rejoiced to hear that your health has been so good since you left this, and we hope and pray it may continue so. I am happy to say that we are all well. William Henry is gone to school again, but there is now no female school here as Miss Fetherson has left and gone to Belfast. Jane Ellen & Margaret have been in Belfast at Mr Wm. [William?] McCleery's since a day or two before the arrival of your letter. They are not home yet. In a letter your Mamma had on the 1st Inst., Jane Ellen mentions that they are to go to Dunadry [*] to day on the railway which is now open. |
