Glendalough will pull her 
<lb/> up she is going to see
<lb/> the prisoners in Portland
<lb/> and Reading before returning
<lb/> to Limerick.
My mother is getting better,
<lb/> but she has become an old 
<lb/> woman suddenly. <sic>up</sic> know 
<lb/> she looked as young as
<lb/> any of us and was full 
<lb/> of energy. Now she is tired 
<lb/> all the time and life seems 
<lb/> a trouble to her.
I will call to see you as soon 
<lb/> as I have Tom settled.<pb/>
Limerick does not agree with
<lb/> me, I am tired all the time
<lb/> here. I have an unsettled feel 
<lb/> here too, as if it were only
<lb/> on a visit I was, I find it 
<lb/> hard to realize that my 
<lb/> home and everything is 
<lb/> gone the only thing left is 
<lb/> hope and if our hopes for 
<lb/> Ireland's future are fulfilled 
<lb/> the sacrifices will have been 
<lb/> well worth the making.
<lb/> Things look black at present 
<lb/> but "the darkest hour is before the dawn,"
I hope to have a good long 
<lb/> chat with you next week. until 
<lb/> then good bye. 
<salute>Yours very Sincerely, </salute>
 <signed>Kathleen Clarke</signed>
