St Patricks1 & for a wonder no rain
Devotions took up most of the
morning, in the afternoon Aunt Eve
& I went across to the Castle but
found all had gone out.
Aunt Sissy came to tea with Auntie
they had been to Craigmore & Uncle
Frank had walked down the
garden with them but it was painful
that he almost gave up.
Bunto & William came across to
have tea with Desmond & Andrew
Cecil had gone with Granny to a
Dog’s Show.
Evening papers say there was a
Sein [sic: Sinn] Fein Volunteer demonstration
in town but it went off quite peaceably
War news from Verdun continues good.
