| Transcript | Naas July 12/72 [1872?] Dear Miss Gass, P.O. [Post Office?] Order to hand all right [alright?] - thanks - but I see I'm to have no hand in money matters. You have indeed managed the whole affair most clever. I do congratulate the young ladies upon the success & I trust I shall yet see the Book in its place & preach the Word from it. Anything about the Church of God is so noble that I wish you now is I hope such is only the beginning as it were, of the young Ladies' good works about the place "The Ladies [v?] the boys" they say. I dont believe I cld [could?] have got either my church or Manse built without them. One Lady has just handed in #26 on her card for our Manse & she hopes to get more. A good husband & who cld [could?] tell but such might turn up before all be over. Some people say such is rare but I think they are still to be had & the more of them the better. I think it wld [would?] be well to have the inscription of some sort of ornamental coloured paper & pasted inside - dont be in too great a hurry about it it can be done at any time, perhaps it shd [should?] be printed too. Kindest regards & best wishes for your spiritual & temperal [temporal?] prosperity Ever faithfully yours J. Shannon. |
