24-12-98 Postmark Bal... to Miss Effie Harron, Ballinakillen, Laghey -
With all Xmas greeting I send these curlers, they have been closed up in
this box, but now they're out & we'll get a chance in the sweet by & by. Now
don't eat too much on xmas day for we must go for a wee walk; I wish someone
would send me a stick but no such luck maybe you'll asked Jack in the fair
to send me a spear. Jack in the box says Su? race? lasted like no more. A
happy Xmas & New Year to you.
