arrived home again this morning quite safe & found Mama quite well. It was

much. It was the Ulster, Capt. Thomas this time, & there were only 2 ladies
on board, we were about ½ an hour later at Kingston. I did not see Mr.
Butler yesterday as he was still at the Courts. I hope this will find you
quite well, & settled down again to school life & try to get your lips? well
as soon as you can. Sheppard has not come back yet so I have told Forrester
to go to Kevin St. & see if he is there - I hope we will find him again.
Today has been fine & we have been walking over the fields after dinner,
which we had early, about one o'clock. The weather is very mild here. Punch
& Judy are quite well, but Towser has a bad leg, I suppose he will be as
well as ever in a day or so. We got 22/- for the calf. I saw old Jim today &
gave him a bottle of Whiskey, he seems to be as well as ever now. He says
someone has been out twice to look at Thornfield, so perhaps it may be let
soon. I brought home a good many new seeds fr Walshe, besides the peas so he
is highly delighted. The greenhouse is looking very well & the tomatoes have
grown since we left. When I left you on Friday I saw the boys off to Windsor
by the 3 mins. past 7 o'c train & got back to London myself about 8½ o'c. I
must now say good night & with fondest love from Mama & myself. I am yours
affte. Papa 1o. o'c P.M.
2) 1916? - 13th April Postmark ? to Miss Jury, 20 Morehampton Terrace,
Donnybrook, Dublin - Friday March 23rd. My dear Miss Jury, My
conscience has been steadily accusing me of most culpable delay in writing
to you, and at length its pangs have become so intolerable that I plunge
into this attempt at a letter. Whether I finish it today or not, it will be
a relief to me to know it is begun. My Epistolary Assets, as one may say,
are practically Nil, as I only leave the house for Sunday duty except in
case of emergency. I feel the savage cold of the weather to a most painful
(and possibly morbid) extent, and enjoy the fire beyond everything. The
newspaper news every day continues to be of the most Volcanic and eruptive
kind: unspeakable upheavals treading on each others' heels. The Death of the
Duchess of Connaught was very sad: but when I read of her Remains being
cremated, I could hardly trust the veracity of my eyes! I know that my
intense abhorrence of such a proceeding is based on Sentiment, and that, in
reason and hard logic the Cremationists have it all their own way, but all
the same, my Sentiment is very deeply implanted, and will never change.
This upheaval in Russia is a wonderful business, too. I'm afraid the poor,
unfortunate Tsar is in a very ugly position, but that is the normal and
necessary condition of every occupant of that fatal throne. As for our
Irish affairs, they are, of course, in that Chaotic and entirely hopeless
condition in which they always have been, and, I am fully persuaded, always
will be. I am Typewriting away at my self-imposed task, with that
clockwork regularity that rules all my proceedings, - devoting an hour or
two every afternoon to the machine, in the manipulations of which I have
very decidedly improved. I hope you and Mr. Jury are quite well and
flourishing. Joined by my Daughter in very cordial regards, I am, My dear
Miss Jury, Ever very sincerely yours, John Armour Haydn. P.S. Do
not forget to commend me to the gentle Louise who, I hope, is quite well.
3) 1916 - Thurs. April 13 - 1916 My dear Miss Jury, A letter from you
is always delightful, and ever most dearly cherished by me, especially in
these awful times. I send you occasional papers to keep the communications
open between us, and as an outward and visible proof that I am thinking of
you. It gives me great pleasure to hear that they find their way afterwards
to the poor afflicted "Incurables". I was also very much pleased to
find that you have not lost touch with lovely Greenfield, - and who knows
but I have the privilege of joining you and the gentle Louise in taking a
walk there before very long. I look forward with most eager anticipation to
going up to Dublin on Monday, May 1st, D.V., when our General Synod opens:-
I am one of the Representatives of this Diocese at? it. I shall drop you a
line when the time draws near, and we can make definite arrangements as to
meeting. Our weather here is unspeakably severe, and terribly depressing. I
live in an overpowering atmosphere of depression, and it becomes almost
beyond endurance from Sleeplessness. I am yet sanguine enough to hope that
the brief change to Dublin may have some good effect in that direction.
My position here and all its environments are ingeniously calculated to ? me
in mind and health. I will explain more fully when we meet. The howling wind
here is a perpetual motion, reminding one of dear old Longfellow's very
realistic poem - "The day is cold, & dark & dreary, - It rains, and the Wind
is never weary". Now goodbye, Dear Friend, for a while. This is but a
dismal letter, but you could not reasonably expect anything from a victim on
the back but a groan. Always most gratefully yours, John Armour Haydn

1) 1925? November to Miss Jury, 20 Morehampton Terrace, Donnybrook, Dublin -
Mon. Nov. 25 My dear Miss Jury, Again I most gratefully acknowledge
your letter. I was deeply moved by the news of the passing of the dear Dog.
I loved her, because you did, - and for her gentle self. Anna's tears do her
honour. You did your part to the poor pet to her very last. I had to dispose
of two valuable & valued Dogs in the same way myself, so I know what as
ordeal it is. That appears to me a very nice & desirable opening for
the Jury; I hope he will take it, and enjoy it. I officiated (by request)
yesterday, in one of the > Churches in the morning, and at the Cathedral in
the afternoon. This is a truly November morning, - foggy, damp and dark, but
not cold. There is a lot of Influenza here, but I am thankful to say I feel
quite as well as a poor old fellow can expect to be. I preached a Sermon
yesterday morning that held the hearers spell-bound: I tell you the truth, I
am a borne Orator, & live at my highest tensions on the Pulpit. Goodbye my
Dear, for a while: Love from your Old Friend, John Armour Haydn
2) 1973 - 24th II (February) 1973 Postmark Kingston, Ontario to Miss A. P.
Jury, Brooklands Cottage, Dunmurry, Co. Antrim, N. Ireland from Mrs. D. M.
Wilson, Apt. 10H Simcoe Apts. 91 King Street East, Kingston, Ontario - Feb.
22nd '73 Nancy darling, I was horrified to get your letter, & hear
what a wretched time you have had - we gather that it has been a bad form of
flu in Britain, & then to have that wretched fall. I do hope the treatment
is gradually curing your back - these things can be so slow to recover, &
its frustrating & depressing. I am deeply distressed over the terrible
situation at home - it just seems to go from bad to worse, & the children
are all growing up in an atmosphere of hatred & violence. Its really
no life for decent citizens like yourself, & the cost of rebuilding all the
destruction will be appalling. It is almost incredible for me to visualise a
housing development stretching as far as Derriaghy, which was all such
unspoiled country, just as its hard to think of housing all around Upper
Falls church - the march of so called progress!! We have had a busy
time lately with friends from Montreal visiting us, & also quite a lot of
quiet entertaining - the net result is that we now owe hospitality to
everyone we know around here, & will have to gradually catch up again!
I am feeling much more settled, the first two years I was awfully lonely for
all my friends as we knew no-one here when we moved. However there are some
delightful people in this building (good old R.? families who have sold
their houses as they got older) & they have been awfully kind & friendly. We
have now no regrets, as we are still sure there will be trouble (maybe like
Ireland) with the French separatists & Montreal will be the worst spot.
Fondest love & do take care of yourself, lovingly Bella

Reviews of Books, Bull dog Club etc.
Dog Has Seat In Rail Carriage: Passengers Stand - All the way from Euston to
Holyhead on the packed Irish mail train passengers had to stand, but in one
compartment, it was stated by an L.M.S. official at Crewe to-day, a large
Dalmatian dog occupied a seat, and it sat there for the whole 260 miles.
When its owner, Mrs. G. Richards, of Goodge Place, London W. was asked by
officials and passengers to remove it she refused, even for a first-class
passenger seeking a third-class seat. Mrs. Richards was fined the maximum of
£2 with £7 17/- costs for allowing the dog to remain in a passenger coach.
Mr. H. W. G. Garnett, for the L.M.S. said that Mrs. Richards told the guard
that the dog was nervous. To a police officer, he added, she said she hoped
a bomb would drop on him for reporting her
2) The Silver Gift by Georgina M. Jury - "Language," said Voltaire, "was
given us to conceal our thoughts," but if we believe so comfortless a
doctrine this world were indeed a poor place in which to dwell. Out
latter-day prophet, Mr. Bernard Shaw, has so persistently transported us to
realms in which paradox is the only medium of thought, that we have ceased
to speculate as to the meaning of his verbal gymnastics,, and have given
ourselves up to the happy contemplation of his topsy-turvydom of words.

3) No. IV The Daily Express - A Lost Art by Georgina M. Jury -
Conversation, like letter writing, has become practically a lost art, and a
reason for its disappearance might be that nowadays we are in a continual
hurry. Life was never so strenuous, and all have joined in the hustle,
whether it be to pleasure or work we are flying. If, by turning our pastimes
into what is really hard work, and making a business of what was primarily
intended for play, we consider that we are having "glorious hours of crowded
life," our forefathers, wiser in their generation, gave themselves up to
"the May-fly pleasures of a mind at ease," and , with them, conversation was
a relaxation, an education, and a passport to polite society. CLICK image
