| Transcript | Queens Chambers Pirie St. Adelaide May 17th 1892. My dear Bob I am afraid to write to the address you sent me, as Medical Students are proverbially migratory. At least, Eugene suggested addressing you through Gort. Mr. Kelly arrived hale and single, and I met him. Eugene was notified by me, but he moves this way very seldom. I am glad you are under way towards your profession, and can only say that if you follow in the unerring footsteps of your elder Australian brother, you will probably go—to the devil. I mean, as far as student days are concerned. By the way, don't mistake me for one who enthuses about Irish politics. I think most of the leaders of both parties are a flatulent lot, and was not particularly impressed, I can assure you, by patriots like Deasey. I am afraid, Irish Political economists will make Home Rule & Ireland agree very badly. Some of the letters, indeed all, sent home that bear my signature among others, first come under my notice in the printed form. The Secy, honors me by putting my name to correspondence above his. By the way, I am still single. To tell you the truth, the Jenkins party wanted me to be double. It is due to the blessed interest relatives take either in me or my pocket, and perhaps my own devilmay- care way of philosophising to spinsters and quizzing through a friend. It is surprising how our Australian relations manage one's affairs, and publish every idle rumor as fact. Eugene knows a thing or two; keeps clear of his relations and saves his name and money. I have a mind some of these days, to a[d]vertise for a wife and retire. Let me hear from you some time. How is James getting on? He never writes now. If his heart is as hypertrophied as mine, no wonder he got married. In haste, with remembrances to all who still retain my name Your affectionate Brother P. McM. Glynn |
