| Transcript | Envelope Addressed to Mr D Mahon Gortin Co Tyrone Ireland Lepiphanie P.2e Canada 16:11:03 Dear Parents, I received your letter on Saturday I had been working about 10 miles from this place this last 3 weeks & I don't know how long the letter may have been here, there will be work here till Xmas if the weather don t be too cold I may stop till then. I am going to save up all I can I don't mean to work always. I am sending you 10 Dollars £2 & some odd money. I hope you will receive it all right it is a Post Office Order as I never sent money before I will be anxious to hear from you as soon as you get this letter and let me know if you received it all right. I am glad Andrew is getting on well. But I am Sorry about Johnny I have lost the Address of my Aunt Mary you might send it again I don't know where I will go after this job is finished I am all right here only for the cold I lost £2 out of my pocket about a week ago whether it was stolen or not I don't know I drew 21 Dollars & 60 cents for two weeks last pay that is over £4 and my board paid as well. I don't like to see you in want at home as long as I have it I intend to save up all. I can and perhaps start some business if I had some one with me I could trust but I have not met them here yet. Perhaps I will send you some again. You might write & send me Andrews address I mislaid it. You might send me a paper if you can remember I am getting along very well and I hope you are all in good health as this leaves me at present perhaps I may not [be?] here when your letter comes but I think I will if I don't I can get it sent on to me. I suppouse [suppose?] you don't hear from Uncle Patrick or Frank at all if you do you can tell them I am getting along well. I enclose you the Money Order hoping you will receive it all right & write as soon as you get it hoping you are all well. I remain Your affectionate son Joseph Mahon Transcribed by Jonathan Engstrand |
