| Transcript | Glynneath, Mill Terrace North Adelaide Tuesday evening 27 Oct. 1912 My dear Agnes You took a lot of trouble about the pedigree; but I am glad there are members of the family with our mother's and Joseph's thoughtfulness and consideration. I am too much of a philosopher to care for ancestral standing; but my ignorance of our stock was almost complete, so I thought I would enquire where we came from, and what links connected some of the names and memories of my childhood and youth. What a domestic life a Federal Public man has! In months I have not had more than a week end at home. As I write, the children are in Bed. Abbie and Mary are in Melbourne, staying with Mary Dynon. I seldom see them when there, as I stay at a Hotel. We may rise before Christmas; but I return to clear out to the seaside for the children's holidays. Tuesday night is my night of rest; as then I generally can get from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. without the hustle of Hotel life and trains, though there is a good deal of insistent, if not merry, whistling, from the near Railways. However, there are compensations. It is late, so with Love to our Mother and yourself Your affectionate Brother P McM Glynn |
