2) 28th August 1951 Arden, Fortwilliam Drive, Belfast - Dear Niall, re
our Settlement -Thanks for your letter with identity papers. I'm sorry
Malcomson bothered you with these, and I hope to get them fixed up in a few
days. I have been laid up with mumps but am nearly quite well now and hope
to be in town shortly. I hope Aunt Florence keeps fairly well. I don't
know whether she likes listening to the wireless, but if so, it may interest
her to know that I am giving a talk (N.I. Home Service) on Tuesday, 4th
Sept., at 7-45 p.m., entitled "Landmarks: an Ulsterman looks back", as I
shall refer to Aunt Florence's grandfather Captain Pirrie. Yours sincerely
