| Transcript | 20 January 1910 My dear Mother I have just come to Adelaide on a special train with Lord Kitchener, who is out here to advise on defence and is on his way to Western Australia. He looks Reserved, but in private conversation at Breakfast on the train I found him interesting and interested, free in discussion, and clear in his apprehension of non-military matters. Joan and her mother attended the Reception at the Town Hall, and she is now in my office waiting for the return of her shopping mother. The Melbourne specialist says Joan is quite Recovered though still stiff. I am still here only at week-ends, and must help to stump New South Wales and Tasmania for our party at the coming Elections. What a fickle people the English are? They never seem to stick long to any party or opinion, and in their hearts love the Lords. But the Representation is generally more changed than the total votes for each party. The last Liberal majority was not true. Among the numerous applicants for influence, interviews, etc., the last is named "Quinn from Kinvara." But he is a public servant anxious to obtain his furlough to visit the old country. Once or twice I was asked whether Father Considine is still living. Hoping you are well, and with Love to all, I am Your affectionate son P McM Glynn |
