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 Text
