Dear Natalie, Here is the R/Coat I found it in the wardrobe. When you mentioned it, I said thats Betty's meaning it would be too small for you, but on checking it I think you 'd get into it alright. The guy in the Drugs haul is one of the 'Martins' Thorndale. He's for the chop.

A taxi man in Letterkenny was attacked by four young fellows Ð masked and armed with Base Ball Bats. He is in intensive care. They took his money and car. Convoy origin is suggested. Crime is on the increase. We have had a terrible storm Sat. and today. It is bucketing. Never mind the writing, I 'm tired. I 've just finished apple tart and scones.

Betty's interview is over for Oatfield. She starts next Mon. 8.30 a.m. till 5.30 p.m. £ 4.50 per hour. It's a great relief as looking at her roaming the town and no job was devastating. She's all happy herself, although you know me and 'Oatfield'. It's as good as washing floors in the hosp. I suppose. As she says herself. It will be good to have something to get up for.

Hope you got over your disappointment (Bike). Andy was all sad for you. Did you hear about the ten students from Trinity who went on Safari to Kenya. Two girls aged 21 yrs. were killed. They would have been graduating next year Ð Engineering. The jeep it seems overturned. A young life thrown away.

Deirdre has gone to Killybegs on a cookery course. Roger was saying to Betty that she wouldn't be long in it.

Students are not allowed into Sr. Eva's or the Metropolitan. (meaning Reginal, I suppose). This letter came today so here goes. I rang "King's Inn" and was told you require to do Irish Constitutional Law from Sept. until May then you can do the exam.

Natalie I 'm off now to post this. Hope all is well with you. Mum XX
