house and Woodford and some of my old school mates and where
is John and James Boyd and Baxter who used to live at the
Dromara Mill dam. if they are alive and you know their adress
let me have it -
I suppose my old schoolmaster John McMurray is dead before
now. how much good it done me to send the old Gentleman American
Newspapers - and our old Friend Bob Kingans family are I
presume scattered - and the Waugh family are all scattered also -
Dear old Kind hearted Mrs Waugh I would travel 500 miles on foot
to spend one day with her - as good and Kind a lady as ever
lived
Oh dear oh dear how I can look back and see all
the old familiar places and faces and imagine myself back there
a boy then going to school with my old School mates - bare foot
running races on the green grass and wading in the Lagan in the
afternoons coming from School. oh dear oh dear those times will
never come back to me - but I will see all the old places, once
more before I quit this world -
I wish very much to hear from you and of sister
Isabella and if you will write me will promise to give you a
longer and pleasanter letter than this one and wishing you and
your family all happiness possible both here and hereafter remain
Your affectionate Cousin
WL Kennedy
