We have a grand day with Uncle Charlie
Tommy & Mulligan went off to town early
& met him at 12 oc at the Club they then
came out here & picked up Ethel & me.
We went by Enniskerry Glen & down to
Greystones had lunch there & back by
Bray Vico Rd. to Royal Irish Kingstown
where we had tea.
It was a lovely day plenty of sun but
fairly cold wind.
Looked out the place Tommy is
supposed to be going to on the map
at the Club it seems a little distance
from Salonika
After dinner we played billiards in
the school room.
