TCD MS 11274/79 folio 1 recto
My dearie Another lull in your letters but tomorrow we are all going back and so they will begin again. I hope, I have just come back from a very nice trip to the Coast. We first went to a very attractive little fishing village and then tried to go on to a larger one but got stuck in the sand so we came back to the fishing village and lunched and then went round inland to the bigger one. But it was very dull there so we came back and on across the bay to Le Crotoy where we stayed in a very nice hotel with baths and all. And thence home a long drive. Called at a Dentist at a Casualty Cleaning Stn He pulled a tooth out very smartly. He told me it was best as there had been an absess under it last week which I knew as it had been troublesome I did not know before that extracting with a local anaesthetic was so painless. I always understood it hurt a lot. It is a little sore now as I write but nothing much. I wonder are you having it as we are here. It is pleasant all the same and I am sure is lovely in Killiney. I hope Dearie that you are taking benefit from the Sunshine. I wonder has your nurse come to see you yet. It seems almost rather a late time to fir it but I am sure she will be all right, Why should she not?
