| Transcript | 44 Molesworth St. North Adelaide 16 May 1900 My dear Mother Eugene was down for a couple of nights—from Saturday to Monday—and now seems to be settled again with his assistan[t]ship. Tomorrow I have a case or two in Robert's District, Riverton, so will see him. Abbie and the Kid are well-the youngster appears to be developing all Right & except for a slight cold, has had no ailments. I was in Sydney at Easter as a delegate re 98 Celebrations—not really by real desire, but to avoid offence to good natured enthusiasts. I there saw Fanny Glynn. She has a tip-top Boarding House in a lovely Harbor Situation, and works like a Brick! I saw Cecilia, Robert's daughter, and her two daughters, very pretty children. Her husband has deserted her, but she lives by teaching music. So Genge Gough is dead. I saw it in the English & Irish Papers. My blessed countrymen here insisted on importing into a telegram to the Lord Mayor of Dublin welcoming the Queen, a Reference to Home Rule. I told them it was bad taste & useless, but they insisted. However, in a changed form I sent it to the Lord Mayor instead of the Queen & am glad he appears to have ignored it. I am afraid that the temper of Part of the Irish Press, and the bad taste, to put it mildly, of leading Irish Politicians are the greatest obstacles to Parliamentary Autonomy. I hope you are all well. How is Elizabeth getting on with her large contingent? My Eyes are not yet Right—but it is only the lids. Rest is impossible—my Partner, who recently came in for £40,000 or so, & took a wife, is next to useless, so I think I will assign him to his domesticities. I trust you are yourself first class. I got all the newspapers as usual that you send. With love Your affectionate Son P. McM. Glynn |
