My dear Frank,
I received your letter yesterday morning and was very glad to hear from you. We have very cold frosty weather here now, with hardly any rain, we had a small fall of snow last night. They did not win any more money the dogs since, they had them in Tralee last week, but they only brought a couple of pounds with them. The coursing is over now until October, we have a pup 6 months old is he the funniest little grey-hound, he will be in racing condition next season.
We got the two bundles of papers alright the last ones you sent were very nice, I hope you will not forget those books. The old folks out at Tullig are all well, they are getting the Old Age pension (10/ a week for the two). Old George Parkinson and his wife died about three weeks ago. Rich Parkinson got married to one of the Pollards I heard that Jerry Carroll is getting married over there on Easter Sunday. There is another one of them going out there in a short time he has got his ticket to go. I am going to school still I wish that I could have off going I am the biggest one that is going there now and George is the next and then there is only a pack of young infants all the big boys & girls have left this year. Do you ever see any of the Buckley girls now? I don't think that I have any more to say at present so I will close. Hoping to hear from you very soon again
I remain
Your most loving sister
Mai.
I thought that you were going to change your address.

My dearest Frank
I received your letter on the big fair morning (13th May) and was very glad to hear from you. We have fairly good weather over here now, but the last 2 days were very bad. We were very busy on the big fair day we were kept busy from about 8 'oclock untillwe shut the shop we had to put out a very tough crowd at 10 oclock, I guess you know the kind they are. The baliff came on Henry Gleasure last week and he had to sell his farm Rich Parkinson bought it and gave him L475 for it, he payed him yesterday and then father advised him to put it into the bank. You know if Jane came around it it would not be long going.
We got the papers and books you sent, the book you sent me was something lovely I like books like that one was. Hilda McCarthy is getting married in July to a Dr in Dublin they are to be married in London. It is a swell affair you. Did you get that last Sticky Back I sent you, you did not say anything about it, will you get one of them enlarged and send me one I would like to have one as all the one's that I had were taken from me. Will you send us some flags the next time you are writing, for the 4th of July some nice ones now mind as we have not got any.
Rich Parkinson's mother died about a month ago. Father and I went to the wake it was of a Sunday night. And then Father and George went to the furnell it was of a Tuesday.
Write as soon as you can again. I have no more to say at present.

Dear Joseph
I received your letter a few days ago and was very glad to hear from you. Jimmy O'Brien comes in nearly every day now, but he is no good for playing as he drinks very much. I am getting along very well with the violin now but as my little fiddle which father made for me is broken I have to play his own which is rather too big for me. Me and May are attending school right along. the teacher we have now is a great deal better than the last one, she explains the meaning of the things she teaches us. Rich Parkinson is stopping at Medill's now I am sure he got tired of the country. We are going into Tralee Saint Stephens day to see the coursing match. I was outside at Connors for a week the time of the machine and had fine fun. Annie said she will write shortly as she is very busy at present making dresses for May and herself. We have fairly good weather over here now as the moon is out. Hoping to hear from you soon. Wishing ye all a Merry Christmas and a happy new years.

My dear Frank,
Just a line to let you know that I received your letter a short time ago and was very glad to hear from you. We are having a little fine weather over here now. Annie got the Photo's you send her George got his also. Father went to the Tralee races last week the two day's George went with him the first day, he would have gone the second day but it being on Thursday and that was a market day so he had to stop at home and help me. I think father won some money there. We got the books you send us all right. I have Annies and George's read I did not like the one you sent me I read some of it before and did not like it. We did not get any one for the shop yet but father was talking to Pat Carroll about his young lad, he was in some shop in town a short time ago but he did not like the place. Father Paul Dillon went back to America last Saturday, he told us that it would be ten years before he can come home again. Rich Parkinson is stopping in the town now he got sick of staying out at Tullig. We are having the races here on the 8 and 9 of October. I am sending Jimmy O'Brian's Photo to Joe tell him to get some of them enlarged and send them to us he is always talking about Joe when he comes to town. I am sending some papers this week. Annie wrote to you a short time ago I hope you got her letter. Tell Joe to write soon he dose not write very often. I will close now as I have no more to say at present. Hoping you will write soon again.

My Dear Joseph
I am writing you these few lines to let you know that we are all well at present. The weather is very fine for the last week, but it got a bit dark to day threatening for rain. Our school opened yesterday. I was outside at James Connors for the last three weeks, they have all the hay saved. I had fine times outside there. May could not go any place this year as there is no one in the shop only Father. There was a Feis in Listowel last Sunday week but it was not worth a fig. Rich Parkinson is out on pension and Tom will be coming out on Christmas. I am getting along with the fiddle very well now, the little one father made is a failure now, but he is going to buy a new one for me. We have got a little greyhound now, we got him from Tom Carroll in Lixnaw he is eleven weeks old everybody says he will be a good one. The races are fast approaching now, they are only six weeks and I wonder could you send me a pair of feild glasses in time for them as I would like a pair to be looking at the horses through them. Father is settling the upper rooms now as we are going to sleep in them and have the small room for the kitchen. As I have no more of interest to write about

My Dear Frank,
I suppose you will be tired looking out for a letter by the time that this reaches you. I was going to write before now but I was puting it off from day to day. We have got our holidays now for the last three weeks they will be up in two weeks more. George is out at James Connor's for the last 2 weeks I can't go out in the country this time as father is to busy. Rich Parkinson came home last Thursday he has left the police force now and is getting his pension. Pat and Tom Dillane is also at home they came last Saturday and Ned Dillane is coming home the middle of August.
Father got a letter last Sunday from his sister Mrs. Morris that is living over in Detroit she said that she is thinking of coming home this year she thought that the old man and woman out at Tullig were dead and buried long ago until she got a letter from them last month she said that she would like to come and see them.
Did you hear that Henry Carroll came home he got changed since he went to America he is very thin Tom Dillane said that he was near his death. I suppose Joe will be surprised when he hear's that Tom Buckley came home again he arrived last Saturday night we did not see him yet.
We are sending some papers along with this letter, and hope you will get them all right, send us some papers soon I will close now as I have no more to say Hoping you will write soon

My dearest Frank,
I received your letter on the big fair morning (13th May) and was very glad to hear from you. We have fairly good weather over here now, but the last two days were very bad. We were very busy on the big fair day. We were kept busy from about 8'oclock until we shut the shop. We had to put out a very tough crowd at 10 oclock, I guess you know the kind they are. The baliff came on Henry Gleasure last week and he had to sell his farm. Rich Parkinson bought it and gave him £475 for it. He paid him yesterday and then father advised him to put it into the bank. You know if Jane came around it, it would not be long going. We got the papers and books you sent. The book you sent me was something lovely. I like books like that one was. Hilda McCarthy is getting married in July to a doctor in Dublin. They are to be married in London. It is a swell affair you. Did you get that last Sticky Back I sent you? You did not say anything about it. Will you get one of them enlarged and send me one? I would like to have one as all the ones that I had were taken from me. Will you send us some flags the next time you are writing, for the 4th of July, some nice ones now mind as we have not got any. Rich Parkinson's mother died about a month ago. Father and I went to the wake it was of a Sunday night. And then Father and George went to the funeral it was of a Tuesday. Write as soon as you can again. I have no more to say at present.
