Dear Son,
Just a few lines to let you know that I am still alive. I am writing
this slowly becasue i know you can't read fast. You won't know the
house when you come home, we've moved.
About your father, he has got a lovely new job. He has 500 men under
him, he cuts grass at the cemetary. Your sister mary had a baby this
morning; I haven't found out yet whether its a boy or a girl so i don't
know if your an aunt or uncle.
I went to the doctors on Thursday and your father came with me. The
doctor put a small tube in my mouth and told me not to talk for ten
minutes. Your father offered to buy it from him.
Your uncle Patrick drowned last week in a vat of Irish whiskey at the
Dublin brewery. Some of his workmates tried to save him but he fought
them off bravely. They cremated him and it took 3 days to put the fire
out.
It only rained twice this week, first for three days then for 4 days.
We had a letter from the undertaker. He said if the last payment on
your grandmother's plot wasn't paid in 7 days, up she comes.
Your loving Mother

P.S. I was going to send you 5 pounds but I've already sealed the
envelope




Its great to be Irish all. more old Irish silly storyies to come in
next few weeks
Happy Saint Patrick's Day
