| Transcript | 26 Milman Street, Bedford Row W.C. London. 30th August '80. My dear Mother, You can see by the thumbing that I write this from a Restaurant. James left for Ireland by the morning train, so I am comparatively alone at present—I say comparatively, as there are a few restaurants which I used to frequent in which I am pretty well known still. The ship sails on Thursday, but does not leave England until Saturday, as it calls at Plymouth on that day. I need not say that I cannot hope to have the same kindness abroad that I always met with at home, but anything much less would be sufficient to make a fellow happy. I brought James to two Public debating Rooms where as usual I spoke —I used to be a lion there and from the laudations and hopes of the audience I ought to make a fortune if I get a start. There is a French fellow waiting for the pen and ink, so for the present I must say good bye—but will write on tomorrow or often. Your affectionate son, P. McM. Glyun |
