| Transcript | Queens Chambers Pirie St. Adelaide Dec. 16th 1890. My dear Mother Having to do all Court and advising business myself there are times when I can hardly stir. Today, for instance, though now 4.30, I have still to attend a meeting at 6.30 p.m.; and preside at a Girls' School, to make a speech and deliver the prizes at 8 p.m. I was up catching Modesty 6 miles off at 5 a.m. So I can only just say that I have cancelled my holiday trip, as Eugene will arrive in the middle of the Xmas holidays, and will probably advise him to stay in the Irish quarter of West Adelaide. He ought to have written to me as he just arrives after the annual elections for Benefit Societies; nevertheless, I have requested some men to run him, accepting my guarantee, (as an exposer of quacks) for his capacity and steadiness. If he does not remain here, I think I can fix him in the country, with a guarantee to start on. I had intended to ask him to continue his journey to Melbourne, so that I could join him, but it is better for him to start work at once and look to holiday visits hereafter. Nothing like preliminary listlessness to play the deuce with one. The strike nearly broke Lizzy. I sent her £7 last post, to pay a summons. Tom has luckily passed through here to work at Broken Hill. In great haste Your affectionate Son P McM Glynn P.S. Would you post that to the Blaquieres? The letter was just returned from America — Refused for 5 cents deficiency in postage. |
