my eyes stare out of my head. Mamma says it is the very model of me because
I'm always staring anyway. Is not this exquisite weather? lovely here at
present. I'm returned to school again. If you happen to send a P.C. do not
put anything outrageous on it because Mamma gets every one of my cards and
reads them on me. I got one from Wright the other day, from Douglas and he
had it written in Latin and she could not understand it so she would not
give it to me until she had it read by a Latin Scholar, so I was very nearly
being strung up, but I'm living yet. I have our house marked in ink but you
would not be able to make it out. I can't get a better view of it.
Yours as ever Ellie P.S. I might be up some Saty. soon & will call on you.
Send me a P.C. tomorrow to Mount Alexander National School, D'Dee instead of
to the house and then she will not get reading it. Address it Mt. Alexander
N.S., Donaghadee

have long time to wait. Hoping this will find you A1 as it leaves me the
same except an odd time when these kids get on my nerves. I declare but
sometimes I half murder them. Yours as ever Ellie. P.S. You need not answer
this card.
