| Transcript | My dear Mary, I received your letter, (my Mother I mean) by Mr Malcom who dined here, and was very sorry to hear Mrs Sharman had not been well. If Mrs S. [Sharman?] does not find it convenient to bring you home on Monday, we will send for you any day Mrs S. [Sharman?] fixes, but you can let us know by Mr Malcom on Saturday. We can see no meaning in your stopping at Mr J. Thompson's unless Mrs S. [Sharman?] does not wish to come into town. If she wishes to call in Castle Street, Dr. Thompson's would be a much more convenient place, where we will meet you. My Father was at Lambeg today, Mrs Bardsay was much better. We rode out a long way on the car yesterday. We found the day extremely cold. I believe I have very little news. I suppose Andy and Sally will be here on Saturday. I have not been in town since Sunday. James was practising his tunes on the flute with Mr Malcom. I suppose Mary dear, you will be displeased with me for not writing a longer letter to you but as I will see you so soon I will then tell you all the news I can think of. I was very ill the other night with a very severe headache and vomiting, just the same as I was at Hollywood [Holywood?], but am now quite well. We expect the Miss Malcom's here next week. I expect to hear from you on Saturday. This family are all very well and join me in the most affectionate love to Mrs S. [Sharman?] and you. Believe me, dear Mary, Your ever affectionate Sister, Thursday night. Margaret Craig. Mary dear, do not forget the muslin Mrs Sharman was so good to give me. Miss Mary Craig Moira Castle. |
