I wouldn't make altogether 7th June 1915
a bad brother write soon and often
Will.
My Dear Annie,
I only received your letter of
April 23rd so you see it was delayed a long time. My
poor darlings death must have been a terrible shock to
you Annie. I shall never forget it. she wrote me a very
cheery letter just about a week before and told me Baby
had red hair. I'm awful anxious to see it. it's a great
responsibility and I shall never marry again you say you
are going home to remain Annie dear. I'm going to apply for
a postman's place in Kingscourt and think I shall get
it when I return so Annie what do you think of coming to
live in Cortubber it would make me very happy and we
could devote ourselves to the Baby. I don't know Annie how
you will look at this, and I cannot put all I would wish
in this but I think Annie you will understand, and I hope
Annie you will consent and you would be secure in case
anything happened to me. I had a letter from Geely Maude Esq
the Estate Agent offering to look after the place for me
and I accepted it. My only consolation in this terrible time is
that she is surely in heaven and that I may meet her again.
Annie dear by whose wish or order was she buried in K.wood
they should have buried her in Inniskeen. I hope dear Annie
you will see your way to what I suggest. I should like to
see you there when I return. I'll close now dear Annie with
love and sympathy your sincere friend Willie O'Reilly
