Detailed description: WRITING ROOMS GRAFTON STREET DUBLIN My dear Father, Please excuse rushed note. I am sending you down today for the 3rd. Maid a black dress like others, set of ball, pepper, and mustard from Clery’s. I got the enclosed mat, these could be made for you in any color for about 1/4 each, but as I thought them too expensive myself, I am sending you down good 1 dozen rubber ones. A telephone message from Lawlor Briscoe today in reference to today. They say it will be impossible to get one the measurements we require and say they can make a very good job by adding two feet. This will cost 10 pounds. The leather cloth will be a dark green unless you prefer another color. Will you write direct to Lawlor Briscoe, Ormond Quay, Dublin? I am also sending you down catalogue of stoves for old playroom. When writing, give me measurements of room. I hope all goes well. I shall have news of you, all from my children tomorrow evening ...I have decided to spend Saturday night and Sunday with them in retreat which is being held there. You will all be remembered much in our few days of recollection with Our Lord. We can get no definite news of the house till next week as the solicitor for the owner is away. How happy we are not to have a house of our own to start, just like Our Lord, Thank God for the charity of all. Taking us. I wrote a short note to His Excellency saying I was in Dublin and that I would postpone my visit till I had something definite about Rosemount next week. Met a few fifth boys at Limerick June; They would not believe me I was leaving. I hear you have birds to look after. Must close now to catch post. Your ever grateful child for God, Marie WRITING ROOMS GRAFTON STREET DUBLIN
