very long journey in the train from Derry to here but I haven't a bit of a
headache. They are nearly all old ladies who are staying in the Home. Sunday
I begin this last night but didn't get it finished. I hope this is not going
to be a wet day but it looks like it now. I'll have to tell you about the
church & choir the next time I write. This isn't a very grand place, there
isn't any nice houses like what are at Port Stewart or Portrush. I haven't
taken any book? our of the library yet as Maggie brought some sixpenny books
that she had in Derry so they will do me for a while. Maggie has taken one
out however. I hope you'll like this sort of Port Card, you may just take
the back of it if you put it in the album, for it wouldn't do for any one to
see this writing. I'll write a bit more on notepaper. A. H.

which I go by. You need not open the ?box until I go home, as that will not
likely be long after Post time. I think Anna & my mother? would be very wise
to go to P. Stewart. I had a P. Card from T. E. last night. She did not say
whether M. E. was away or not. I am going to send each of them a P.C. now.

- Hello, Hello, Hello, It's a different girl again! What do you think of
this position. How did you enjoy your evening with "Willie" after we came
away yesterday, I suppose he was not very long in when you went back, but I
am sure you would enjoy his company, maybe its Sarah he is after now, he'll
be a bargain for somebody, he is always very punctual in coming to Church,
you never catch him late, always there is good time for getting out, be good
to him till I see you. ?

1) 8th September 1908 Postmark Portstewart to Miss Edna Hay, Finvoy,
Ballymoney - Yesterday was very wet, I got down the length of the P.O. to
post the P.F. and then in the eng. My Mother went for a bath. I said Benson.
This day is a little better, but showery still. Would you kindly send down a
couple of towels, as the supply is short here. Glad to hear that Aunty is so
obedient, I suppose they have nothing to do mow. M. E. went home that day.
S. What species does this belong to? I know you don't like "animals" A right
jolly moon am I, I'm fixed far up in the sky, But I see such fun when the
day is done, That I cannot be sad if I try!

getting good seaside weather. I hope you are all well. You will likely have
old Shaw in with you selling tea, he was in here this morning. E. H. Hay
