| Transcript | [Lubrid?] [Resh?] July 9th / 02 Dear Annie I was glad to hear Johnnie is getting so much better and stronger I hope he will soon be able to be about again even if he is not strong enough to work for some time it is a great blessing to see him able to take his old place around the fireside the laidies [ladies?] seemed to think he was looking very well only so thin but as I said you know Johnnie never was fat like Willie I suppose you thought I was more anxious about the appearance of things than anything else but I thought as long as [Francis?] would have to wait for them I might send him over to tell you I thought you might be expecting them when they were there Mrs Wallace had great talk about the wee girl it was well she did not catch her by the hair or she might have brought the fringe with her you never told me Eliza was down with Willie she came and took away another of the Irvines of Ederney for nurse for Mr Maurice the Bishop and Mrs Stack are going away to morrow and I must say I am glad Miss Darcy is gone and Mr Naylor is away on his holidays so it will be quiet here for at least a few days when they are gone you never told me what the Doctor charged you I hope you are feeling well yourself is Gran's knee better let me know how the law went when you write I never heard a word from home since the evening I came back here I wrote to Maggie yesterday I suppose you have got your own turf dry before this did you get the potatoes done that day Bob was down I believe Mr Watersons party was a success does he visit you as often now as he used to is Johnnies appetite improving I saw by your last letter wee Mary did not trouble much to help you never mind so nothing must have annoyed her we have very good new potatoes and Mrs Stack went out on Sunday and picked a dish of strawberries for tea herself so now I must draw to a close as it is time for after-noon tea love to all I remain as ever your affectionate Sister Rose I shall be expecting to hear from you by Saturday Morning |
