aarrange these matters with you

to write much to the staff a matron

after the poisoning + long tie trying
to get up so as to get the air takes
all the energy I have but
gradually this will improve
It there is anything we can do for
you in Dublin or for F. C please
do not hesitate to let me know
My brothers wedding will be on
tnesday next they are all very
busy preparing for the great day.
