14 Sefton Drive, Monday - Dear Bella, I thought to have seen you before this
& I am hurt at you not letting me know how Bella was going along. I was
sorry Harry let our door so soon as we were all in the house & he is my
favourite nephew. Yes, since he was a little Boy. I hope your Holiday helped
Harry & you all. I had a letter from Nan, I am glad she got her dress safe &
that it is a good fit. Your loving Auntie Gertie I am hoping to see you
soon.

6) The Mountaining Man
He sowed his young strength in this place, Among the weed and stone,
And reared a little corn to keep, The rough flesh on his bones.
He wed a sturdy mountain girl; The brace of sons she bore,
Grew weary of the quiet mists, The greyness round the door.
He waked his wife at lambing-time; The scattered neighbours came,
And gossiped at the ashy hearth, Till curlews cried again.
And now he hears upon the thatch, The lisping of the rain,
And watches as the wasting turf, Throws spears of coloured flame.
Dominic A. Burns
