| Transcript | Milford Co Donegal Ireland. 8th October 1893. Dear Robert Your letter came to hand last week, we were glad to hear from you as you had delayed so long in writing that Miss Gilliland and I began to think perhaps you were laid up in some Hospital. We became so uneasy about you that I wrote a few lines lately to Mr Dray, asking if you were still living with him, however we are glad to know that you are well and still in employment. You will be wise to take care of your money, whilst you are in employment, so that if you do get thrown out of work you may be able to stand it in the Winter. However now that you are back with McGuire and Sloan I have no doubt if you take care of yourself, you will be one of the last to be discharged, you have had a good long job there, and you should try and hold it as you might not be so comfortable elsewhere. Has the foreman that had been discharged got back again? We are all about as usual. Plenty of rain, it has now been raining about a month. There is no news in the town since you left. Miss Gilliland and the brown duck and Madge are well and giving us enough eggs for breakfast every morning. I have not heard from Mary Ann since she left, but I believe they got back safe. Miss Gilliland desires to be remembered to you and bids me tell you to take care of yourself. James Buchanan don't be so long in writing- |
