GORTIN AU 30 07 [NEWTOWNSTEWART?] [Page 1] Gortin. N. T. Stewart. [Newtownstewart?] 30/8/07 Dear Jim. Mother received the cushion tops all right [alright?] but they were not in time. They came a few days too late, so she kept them herself & gave the price quoted by you for them she thinks they are very pretty. They have been greatly admired [Page 2] especially the one with the Maple leaves. The Bazaar was a great success as you will see by the leaflet I am sending you [see G0402001a.lte.doc]. Nearly everything was sold out the first evening. I am very busy just now as I am going to Miss Deane's Derry. on Monday, & have a lot of articles to get ready, so I hope you will excuse the bad writing. We have also some hay in hands & [Page 3] as the weather has been so bad lately that there is always a heap to do on a good day. I was in Glenelly on Thursday last & stayed until Sat. The piano is grand, & I think it is greatly improved in tone. They are all very busy there. Mary has very little time for practising. By your letter today I see you have passed your Exam. I am very glad, & I shall be [Page 4] very pleased to get the French papers. I have no time now to write you out a copy of the Intermediate Programme, but will do so later on. I am going in for the June Grade with Honours. I will write a longer letter to you when I get settled in Derry. Nothing more as I am going out for my tea, at 4. P.M. So Good Bye, With kindest regard from all, I remain, Your lov. [loving?] Cousin Lizzie Hay. |
