DUBLIN,

Willie is looking very well indeed, in fact much better than I have ever seen him before.
I hope soon to be through pressing business here and in country, and to be able to leave on Saturday.—Yours, C. S. P.

MY DEAR MRS. O'SHEA,—I shall be at Dover for a few days longer, and afterwards propose visiting the Netherlands and returning through Paris. If I thought that Captain O'Shea would soon be in England I should wait for him, but if not should take my chance of meeting him in Paris on my return.
My stay in the Netherlands will not exceed three days, but I shall remain in Paris for at least a similar period. I say "the Netherlands" because I don't yet know whether I shall have to go to Holland or Belgium or both. Kindly let me have a line or wire to former address.—Always yours,
CHAS. S. PARNELL.
I was ill at the time the following letters were written, and Captain O'Shea was coming to Eltham a good deal.
