Julia Byrne, Australia, to James Walsh,[Co Kildare]
From Julia Byrne, Sydney Widow of Joe to James Walsh [Naas Co. Kildare?] Ireland. Dear James Just a few hurried lines to ask you, if you will send out baby's money. John asked me to do so, as he thinks its necessary for you to have an order from me, there is such a lot of forms in things like this isn't there? How is Aunt Rose? I have often wondered why she didnt answer my last letter I hope she is quite well, baby often talks of her and her friends she has a dear aunt in dear old Ireland. She has grown such a fine child and is a most striking likeness of her father (may his [soul?] rest in peace) & has his sweet disposition I will have her photo taken now that her hair has grown its one mass of curls I send one to Aunt Rose I will write to her soon so now I will finish this [nasty?] scrawl wishing you all a joyous Xmas & happy new year from yours sincerely Julia Byrne Babys sends love and kisses galore to allClose
