| Transcript | Milford Co Donegal Ireland. 1st June 1893. Dear Robert We are all glad to hear from you and that you had gone to work in the Old Shop and that you are feeling better than you had been in Ireland. I am glad that you have gone to work again with Maguire and Sloan you will be more at home there than in a strange Shop and try to take care of your money. A drop of whisky has not come into this house since you left. I thank you for the weekly Tribune which has come regularly and also for the other papers which has given us all the news. I met Mr Spence last fair day he told me he had some Insurance Papers which some of the Bradleys had sent to him to give to you to sign but as you had already gone away, Mr Spence returned the Papers. I suppose it is some of the old papers they had transferred when they were in difficulties. I will be writing to Thomas shortly and will give him your address, so that if he sends it to you you can sign it for him. Miss Gilliland desires me to say to you the Brown duck is still laying and Madge has a lot of young chickens. My father keeps as usual. Ned Harkin died last week. Mary Ann Buchanan and Margaret are coming for a few weeks to Milford so we will have the house full. Miss Gilliland warns me not to forget to tell you that she has now got a Thrush it don't sing yet but it can eat worms. Hoping this will find you in good health. Your Affectionate Brother James Buchanan |
