My dear Miss Collier
I am so glad to get your letter & hear news of you. I often thought of you since the great explosion in London & wonder if you got a fright though it was not near your district. That was good news about your picture I am so glad – I am posting you a few shamrocks & also to my [illeg.] friends. The shamrocks is not so nice this year the weather has been too awful I have chilblains on my hands as I write & they are a bother.
This is a hurried [illeg.] but just to let you know how glad I am to hear from you & get news of you so please excuse –
[illeg.] very best wishes from all at home & love from your affectionate
