Crumlin 10th April 1926 - My Dear Peggy, Your very welcome letter
to hand a few days ago and many thanks. Sorry I am so long of answering it,
but I was very busy around Easter times, so I hope you will overlook the
delay. I suppose you are just as usual yourself. Had you much fun at Easter.
I wasn't out anywhere at all - not even in town, but with the help of God
I'll be going on Sat. I say, Peggy, can you meet me in town on Sat. 17th
April at L. & S. at 3 oclock sharp. If you can will you send me a P.C.
during the week and let me know. Now, don't forget that, and come if you
can, for I am just dying to see you, but I wouldn't like to go, and then you
not turn up as you did the last time. So make sure you can come before you
say so. You know it is principally to see you that I'm going at all, I would
rather go on Saturday, for I want to go to the Hypp.? and you see that is
the only day there is a late train. I won't say anything more until I see
you so hoping to hear from you very very very soon, I will put finis here
and remain with best love, Yours as B. 4 Nell x x x x x x

70 Bloomfield Avenue, Belfast 17th June 1927 - Dear Miss Duff, It
seems a shame for me to have deferred answering your welcome letter, which I
must acknowledge gave me a bit of a surprise, but the usual plea comes to
the rescue - Time is flying and bringing in its train very few moments for
indulging in such a pleasure as letter-writing. Yes, I am sure you are
finding the time rather dull at school in such a place as Downpatrick but
after a few months of business the monotony returns as vividly as ever. Yes,
I met Mark this morning in North Street, and he's the same old two and six.
I never run across any of the others. Are you studying for any special Exam,
that you continued school so long? I presume you are well fit for the
Government Typist now. What is Nell Morgan doing with herself? Yes I should
like to have a chat with you both. If you have this letter in time. I will
be at Arnotts corner at 10 c or 1.5 perhaps it will be late. I only have an
hour and a half for lunch. If you are not there on Saturday don't forget to
write me. Give Nell Morgan my sincere regards, and write soon to yours
sincerely Patricia Prenderville. I hope you will have this is time for
Saturday. P.

19th December 1938 17 Vicarsfield
Street, Glasgow, S.W.1. - Dear Cousins, I am sorry that I have been so long
in writing to you, as you know I am something like yourself, not great at
corresponding, but all the same I often think about you, I would like very
much to come over and see you at xmas time, but I am afraid it would be to
cold for me so I will put the trip out of questions in the meantime, I hope
that you are all keeping well, and keeping free from colds and influenza. I
remember R??? was not sleeping very well when I was over, is she doing any
better, for it is to be hoped that she is. Well, at last I am sending the
vests for Margaret which I promised some time ago. She may not like them
near her skin but she can wear them under her frock. If all is well, I may
pay you a visit in the Summer. Just write and let me know if you get the
parcel alright as I am posting it along with this letter. Let me know how
everybody is getting on. As regards myself, I am keeping healthy and strong.
I think I will now conclude, and in doing so I hope you will have a Merry
Xmas and a good New Year. From your loving Cousin Jean Blackwood

confusing - (1) The green parasol .... One most eventful precious day I

such a duck with wavey, hair slender waist and rather tall. With rosy
cheeks, complexion fair and a light green parasol. Chorus. She had a green
parasol ~ .... green parasol fit for an Earl I thought that girl
with the light green parasol. (2) She wore a plaide sensation suit and a
lord dundreary tie paper colar patent boots and a white hat but oh my. She
said who stole the donkey nibs but I couldn't tell atol. Then she laughed
tickled me on the ribs with her light green parasol. (3) She made a courtesy
then I bowed what man could do much less. Said I there's rain in yonder
cloude take shelter charming miss. There's not a tree about said she but if
the rain do fall you then can find a shelter neath my light green parasol.
(4) I felt enraptured with her quite and profered her my hand she gave me
hers with much delight but my woes you'll understand when you hear how I was
victimised and there's no doubt atol & there by the only girl I prized with
the light green parasol. (5) The morning wed to meet at church quite
punctual I was there but found that it'd been left in the lurch & sold to I
declare for another is well in wedding clothes him next intended she did
call who knocked me down & broke my nose with her light green parasol.
