Quite an eventful day in the
Schoolroom, the billiard table
which I hoped to have had for
Xmas arrived. The boys were
very much excited.
It is second hand but in quite
good order. Charlie O'Kelly
had a very firm stand for it
at the North Wall.
Aunt Maggie called in the afternoon
but stayed a very short time as
she was going over to the Castle
Ethel met her over there, she
was very down on her relatives
for what reason she did not
discover.
In the evening Charlie & Dick
O’Kelly came over & had a game
of billiards with the boys, all
are wishing you were here to
enjoy it.
Rita Coppinger & the children
came over this morning from
England, they had a very bad passage
& all were very ill. We have storms everyday
