for your last note written before
you left for some needed rest.
I appreciated it the more when
I realized how busy you were

to contact Mr. OBrien by letter and
phone. The morning I was leav-
ing Collinstown he spoke with me
on the phone saying that the
Corporation Valuer and Mr. Ryan
were to meet to make a proposal
Since then they have discussed
things and an agreement reached
Mr. Ryan wrote me on this and
I have already answered and-
made some suggestions. I would

day I hope St Josephs Private Nursing
Home will be blessed. Is that too much
