Bless this house, O Lord we pray, Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls, so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let Thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove, Ever open to joy and love.

Dear old friend, |
|
|
|
I've forgotten your address, so if you don't receive this letter let me know. If you don't let me know I'll know you've got it.
I'll see you in the usual place on Sunday. If I'm there first I'll put a chalk mark on the wall. If you're there first, rub it out.
It's a so long since I saw you I've forgotten what you're like but your face is always before me. Everytime I feed the pigs I think of you and the last time we had a bite together.
Excuse spelling, this is a divil of a pen.
Yours to the bone
Patrick

Arid and bleak here at the Achill Island Mission established in 1834 by Revd. Edward Nangle. Societies like this depended on peat for their heating. |
