| Transcript | Morialta Chambers, Victoria Square, Adelaide 3rd July 1920. My dear Fanny Your letter has just come to hand. I am about leaving but will write a few words. I hope indeed that you are getting better. Of course your strength cannot be the same as in earlier life but you have great vitality. I am not sure what you refer to when you mention about finding a decent place. I had a letter as I wrote to you on the 24th June from a Mrs. E. M. Andrews, whom of course I do not know. I wrote to her in reply in effect stating that I thought that if you could get into one of the best of these home institutions, such as the Home for Incurables, it would be the best place of comfort for you. Here in Adelaide at the beach there is a splendid home, first-class people in it, at a very low contribution, I am not sure, but I think at 15/- or £1 a week each—there must be some in Sydney. There are institutions too connected with the Catholic Church which I am sure would help in the matter. Of course I don't know anything of your relations to the other, they may also have some similar place. I shall write on Monday to Sydney again and see whether there is any chance of finding out a place in one of these institutions. I wish I was in Sydney to see you but my life is an exceedingly busy one now with responsibilities far beyond my own family continuously to attend to. With best wishes and regards, Your affectionate cousin [P. McM. Glynn] |
