| Transcript | Lower Newcastle Feb 10th 1903 Dear Brothers. [We are] all pretty well at present and are very glad to hear of ye being well and doing well. We got your letter a Tuesday. It commenced snowing here last Tuesday and stormed till Friday there was a foot or more fell. We would have got your letter sooner only for the delay of the mail it went down on Thursday and did not get up until Saturday night. It commenced snowing again on Sunday night it snowed and blew very hard all next day there was another foot fell again. It is very deep about here now they say there is between three and fo[damage] in the woods. There is no road in to Bartibogue I did not see Ned since the time that he hauled the hay. He was out to Town the next week. Did he answer his last letter I think its likely he is shut in for the winter. Its likely that some one will soon go in and see him. Old Bob didn’t go away yet [ont] account of the boat being stuck the way he wanted to go I don’t know when he is going. Cathil says that Maude and Daisy are pretty well played out after another snowstorm they [damage] have to carry them. There is nothing much doing there is no smetts. Mamma says she wishes she was handy enough to ye to give ye some mitts. There has been not been any one out from Bartiogue this goodspell. This is nonly trash I have nothing worth writing to ye. I suppose yedont be lonesome. Papa & Mike were up to town Monday week. We did not hear how Dan Sullivan in Douglastown is since we wrote to ye. Mikes back does be sore by time but he is always working about he went to see Father Morrisay and he got a prescription to get some medicne to rub on it. Please excuse this letter because there is nothing worth writing to ye. Jim Mcmahon Columbus brother is dead. I think I will have to bring this poor letter to a close all sends their compliments and wishes ye -------{on top of page}-------- a good time, and don’t work to hard. This two days are very fine just now We are not wanting for any thing thank [Gogs] if we were we would let you know. From your truly Mrs. McCarthy Lower Newcastle N.B. |
