| Transcript | Queens Chambers Pirie St. Adelaide January 25 1894 My dear Agnes It is about time for me to write to thank you for the handkerchiefs which you kindly marked and sent to me. They will have a double value as coming from you and having been manufactured in Gort. Today, when you probably are remarking that the weather is cold, the heat in my office must be 102° in 'the shade. It is a most erratic climate. I think in my first letter to my mother I called it feminine. Snow actually fell up the hills 20 miles from here at Xmas. The wind is nearly always pirouetting round the compass. Eugene is, I hear, thriving, but I have not seen him for two months. There is great depression in the colonies now, especially Melbourne. In fact, I had to telegraph £5 to Mrs. Denny (Cissey Glynn) on Saturday, to take the last of her furniture out of the maw of the bailiff. I suppose the Tyrells are not over burdened with wealth. Adam's daughter, Kitty, was nearly dead with starvation recently. The Stage—lower ranks—is the only source of poor revenue for most of our stumped cousins. Give my love to all at home, and excuse the present brevity of Your affectionate and par boiled brother P. McM. Glynn |
