| Transcript | Queens Chambers Pirie St. Adelaide November 21st, 1893. My dear Mother, By the time you receive this it will be Christmas, so I may as well wish you all a happy one. Being singlehanded again, I am very rushed, today especially, but have just time to notify that I am still alive. These colonies are in very low water just now and are likely to remain so for some years to come, unless Western Australia, whose goldfields are now being rushed, manages to pull the big surplus of the unemployed through. Lizzie's daughters, Bertha, about 23, and Grace, 10, were here recently with an opera company. The Dennys (Cissey Glynn) are in very low water, old Denny being dead. I sent her £4 recently to stave off the bailiff, but it is useless. Maryanne is in the Benevolent Asylum. Fanny is again Novel writing for one of the Tasmanian papers. She is a plucky woman and takes a lot of killing. She is at present in Tasmania. Eugene, when I saw him three weeks ago, was first-class. He is quite at home in Kapunda now. At Christmas I think I will run over to Melbourne to see how Lizzie is. It is a relief, from the dull monotony of daily life, to speak for a while to those with whom one is really intimate. I have applications from all sides to stand for the Legislative Council next March, and have already refused three districts. It is scarcely worth the Bother of Electioneering. With love and best wishes for a Happy new year to you all, I am Your affectionate son P. McM. Glynn |
