| Transcript | Queens Chambers Pirie St. Adelaide May 23rd, 1893. My dear Mother, I just received your letter to Eugene and would have sent £25 on in advance of Eugene but was in Court until the Banks closed. However, you can let Elizabeth know she will have some money next mail. I would willingly pay all her debts myself, but the closing of Banks and £297 election expenses necessitates a little caution just now, especially if I gave a pound or two now and then to others in Victoria. Poor Mary Anne Glynn is blind and in the Benevolent Asylum. She wrote to me some fourteen days ago, a compliment from her as she is somewhat proud, but really affectionate at heart. The sisters Glynn never pulled in well, but really a great deal of pity is due to one whose heart has all her life been frozen. Lizzie pulls on with her girls in Melbourne, though I think rheumatism sometimes knocks her up. I wonder she is so well able to weather these bad times, but she is always bright and agreeable, so I suppose Lodgers stick to her. You must have an excellent priest in Father Fahy. In a town like that a man of his temperament and acquirements should be a great acquisition. These colonies are in for a pretty rough time. They have been speculating rather than developing their resources, for some time past, and now will have to retrench and work. I dare say you have read an interview of me in the papers, which explains the financial collapse. I am glad you are all well, and only wish that now you were able to take a well merited rest. Give my love to all in Gort Your affectionate son P. McM. Glynn |
