14th June 1965.

Dear Margaret,

I should have sent you these photographs before now
but omitted to do so. They got temporarily mislaid I fear.
However, I have found them in a drawer and am hastening to
rectify my lamentable omission. I do hope you will forgive
me. I think they turned out quite well.

I have had letters from John D. and I understand he
is coming back to Ireland this summer. What Joan and his
future plans will be God only knows - because I do not!

I have an idea nevertheless that he will settle in Ireland
because Ireland is a good country to settle in, he has plenty
of friends here, and his writing market is mostly here. I
will be delighted, of course, to have him around.

I understand that Eve has become engaged to the young
man whom I think she was nearly engaged to before - the
Professor's son - but I am very vague about young men I do
not know.

I hope you are all well in your distant island.

Anyhow please excuse this brief note as I am just back from a
long trip to the West of Ireland doing programmes on the
famous poet - W.B. Yeats - whose centenary it is.

With very best wishes to you and your family,

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Margaret Barwick,
Judge's Residence,
Bairiki,
Tarawa,
Gilbert and Ellice Island Colony,
WEST PACIPIC OCEAN
