Bob O.Brien were here to see

mother & all the folks at home
I suppose you are almost
froze there. I was so cold
all the time. James is well
I was so sorry I did not get
a bit of [dullies?] I wish you
could get a little bit. Annie
I wish you could fetch me a
moustache cup & saucer for

it up I knew I had none for Hugh
I was so sorry & whatever it costs
