My ever dear & Venerable friend, I now drop you a few lines to let you know that I arrived safe & took Michael & his lady by surprise. I was not sea sick. I enjoyed the voyage very much. I had very nice people along with me.  I was landed in Claremorris on the 17 August. I stopped at a friend's place that night & he took me out next morning in his car. So my dear and beloved Mr. & Mrs. Coogan I hope the arrival of this note will find yourselves, Miss Dixon, and the little ones in good health.  I feel young again in the Old Country. I will soon be sending you a slice of the wedding cake. I now conclude with fond love to you & your dear little ones. I remain Yours faithfully, Delia Fitzgerald Holly Brook Hollymount Co.
