this collection of photos comes with a number of letters between Richard
Macartney and Adrienne Clarke in the 70s while he was working in America for
11 weeks, just before they married, they are very personal letters and I
won't transcribe them here.

1) 4th March 1942 to Captain J. E. Clarke, Royal Engineers, No. 1 Docks
Stores Section, No. 4 Docks Group, Middle East Force from 1 Bellevue Road,
Carnalea, Co. Down - Dearest Edmund, Here I am! at home again - no more
rushing out in the mornings to catch the bus - no more missing it and having
to hike into Bangor - no more angry looks because more often than not I was
almost an hour late. Ah well! I suppose I shall get used to doing house work
again. Seems strange you talking about the lovely blue sky and
brilliant sunshine - when last week we had snow - heap of it - must say I
enjoyed it very much. It's great fun going out with a crowd to snowball
although one does get very wet. Cheerio dear, All my love. ?
2) Mr. & Mrs. J. Edmund Clarke request the pleasure of your company at the
reception to celebrate the marriage of their daughter Adrienne Sarina with
