KNOCKDUFF, KINSALE. 2023-01-25/475 6 Sept. 36 Dear Miss Martyn. Seumas aged 11 yrs & stood using 14 yrs will arrive on the 15th. I think. His number I believe is 14. I want you to know that though he is quite a healthy boy he catches cold too easily & has had pneumonia three times - the first time contracting it in the Non Scenaro after an appendicitis operation. I don't want you to coddle him but I do want you to give him a good rub at the first signs of a cold. Then again there is the constipation trouble. I prefer to avoid this by exercise & the right food as far as possible otherwise a little mild laxative. You will need to guestion him. Like most boys he seems to adore a "high water tine" & he eats his nails. He is very renositive but food natured & very popular with everyone here, while myself he can't be driven. I hope you will love each other. With very trust regards Miss Martyn Manie & Miss
