Transcript | Carnone N.S. Raphoe, Co. Donegal 20. 12. 97. "My dear Bella," I am sure you are wondering why I have never written to you before this but really I never seem to have a minute to spare I like this place very well indeed and have a much better school and much better times every way. I hope you have all been well since I left and that everything is going on prosperously with you all. Be sure and write me a nice long letter very soon and give me all the news about everyone and everything Of course I have no news worth writing about yet I know so few of the people yet but I hope to be able to write a good long letter next time. James never wrote to me at least if he did I never got it. I do not think he will be surprised to hear of my having removed. How has your Mother's shoulder been this while? Give my kind regards to her and to your Father and love to all the rest. Willie, Tom, Liza, Mary John & Willie John and accept same yourself. Wishing you all a very merry Xmas, and a happy and prosperous New Year. I remain, your sincer friend [N?] Dunbar. (Written across first page.) How is the singing going on now?
