Dickie had a round-up of Irish books to-day, because few of us have them all. He makes us buy over a pound’s worth of books, and never does even a quarter of any one of them. – Mrs. Vaudrey [née Mollie Basset] visited Mám this evening. She was an old friend of Mrs. Horgan’s, and Mám and Páp, Mrs. Horgan and she had many a delightful day together in the old days. She went to England, however, before poor Mrs. Horgan died, so it brought on her a host of old memories to see Lacaduv, ((Lacaduv was the name of the Horgan residence on the Lee Road, Sunday’s Well.)) and to see Mám and Páp again. I have got but a faint recollection of her.
