Castledamph March 14th 1905 Dear Brother We rec [received?] your letter of Feby 28 yest [yesterday?] and I may till [tell?] you we are glad to know you are doing so well I hope you get appointed in that bussiness [business?] it will do well if you are fit to hold both positions I'll not say much more today as I have other news for you I dont know what you may say. John C. is for going out to you 14 of next month he agreed his passage yest [yesterday?] to Toronto going by Tunisian to Halifax Jamey McKnight is also going out west John is for going to see you all and coming back to Toranto [Toronto?] for to work Jamey and he were both in Derry yest [yesterday?] they could get on the Virginia (maiden trip) but it would been £1 more £9 9s the passage was he is not going to take very much with him as regards clothes. he is for taking his tools with him I suppose you will wonder what notion he took he is not earning very much here and he has to work today in one place and to morrow [tomorrow?] in another so when Jamey McKnight was going he thought he would go and see what it is like anyway it will do him good even he comes back again Dont be hard on him because he is afraid you will scold him when he gets your length Mother is fretting a little but it will soon go by He had a letter from Jamey Dunbar yest [yesterday?] and he say [says?] he as [has?] £2 18s per week employed by the board of health but he is in New York. I dont think we will send any thing [anything?] to you when you intend coming home this year. anyway the cash will not be extra plenty You can tell Uncle's folk he is going perhaps Mary will write to them all. As I said in my last letter Mary is doing some running that was four week (sic) ago today and I had a (sic) answer yest [yesterday?] so write when you get one and we will have it Monday before John leaves he leaves Friday 14 April so you can look out what time she is due over ther [there?] anything you wish to say dont be afraid when you write next Some of the others will write this week again as I am in a hurry today only Mother Tommy and I at home but I wanted to let you know so that you can write excuse pencil Liza Transcribed by Alan Houston |
