| Transcript | 323 W. 13 St. New York City Friend Robert I received your welcome letter and was very much pleased to hear from you, and sorry to hear that you have such bad weather in the old country. I took your card over to the Lodge, and they would not give me a clean card for you as they say that you must pay right along, but if you say so, I will pay for you, and have it all right. Things in New York are very good from what I hear and see, if you had stayed here, I could have you working for Van Doran now, Jinks is working in the [Sl---?] and J. Rutan, is at Jordan in the Sailor's home. Send me a shamrock and a piece of the old country sod. I wish I was with you Robt [Robert?] drink that old ale and porter, but when you come back we can drink lager beer again. The wife lost her father, he died Nov 7th 1892, after being sick for about six weeks, he said one night, when he was very low, that he wished he was in the old country, and he would not be laying in bed. Alex is going to be marry on the Dec 18th 1892 to Mammie Durdan. I hope you will have a good time and improve your health, while you are in the old country. Hoping to hear from you soon I remain Your Friend Jim Swan P.S.
