Dear Katie,

  Just a card to thank you for your cake, as it was

most thoughtful of you to send it to me, I need not tell

you it was very welcome, especially as it came from poor

Ireland, and was sampled by a few of my friends here. It

was very nice, & when we had finished it, the other lads

naturally ate up the crumbs, as it was an Irish Cake.
