Hi Jane, What about ye! We got your two letters post-card. Louisa sent you a letter, I was waiting to get an address. We have just had a lovely week of weather. Louisa is working in the shop since she came home so she gets my money. Mark is home from Belgium, he has no job yet. He has Jeanette's house painted inside out, he goes on day-release to the Tech. starting next week. Cormac goes back to school to-morrow the 2nd Sept. Dad I are going to Roscommon next Wed. and Thur. for John Whyte's Ordination. (Valerie's eldest son) We had a lovely holiday in Donegal. The house was 5 star, the beaches terrific, Simon got sun-stroke. Jeanette leaves work in 3 weeks, she is keeping well. Poor Warren is heart-broke about his mum, she died on 10th July It will be a sad time for them when the baby arrives as Laura was looking forward to it so much. We didn't do anything about your fine yet. Your bureau stopped as soon as you went away. They wanted to see you for an interview so we had to send your signing off form in. You don't seem to be having as good a time this year as last. Hope you are looking after yourself. Andrew saw you on the 9 o'clock news. MRS. Bennett phoned to say Richard was in London, I don't like the idea of you being on your own travelling about. I pray for you every night. We all miss you, I wish you were safe home. We had Andrew down last week-end, he is painting decorating in Belfast, he is completely broke. We have the oil heating in now, <{> its great, it saves a lot of work, we are getting new blinds to-morrow. I 'm just watching Johnny Cash on T.V. The show is great. Hope to hear from you soon. Jeanette has just come in and said Richard is home in Downpatrick. On your way home perhaps you could call on Louisa. We are trying to get Louisa off the sofa to make us a cup of tea, it would take a bomb to shift her. Good-night God Bless. Love Mum Dad.
