I sent to write to you from Leinster House, when I spent the first part of the reminder of the week, but between one thing and another I was kept to walk "on the gold that I told secured the necessary learner when I returned home on Saturday night. I am so glad Fello Serdl has accepted the articles for the Record. I think Lady Jargiana's life has a special lesson for many of our own women whose influence will be involved if they could only reach this responsibilities. Toma's works to reserve our attention for the Annual and the Record, and I enclose here clayer for Lady, for that purpose.

Dear Father Fenan, I was going to ask you about this over the phone but on second thoughts I decided it would be as well not to. Provided I can get a house & the wherewithal to help me put something into it I'm going to get married in September. There are no objections. Do you think would it be possible for me to negotiate a loan from the 1st. of April? — an inaugurative day. What I mean is if I borrowed the cash now the interest would be payable counting the year as beginning next month. I don't mind much what interest I pay: I I'll try to clear it off as soon as I possibly can. There are a few things I want to buy at the moment. I have some money saved but if I can I want to hold it interest as an 'emergency' fund in cases of illnesses etc. If this is practicable could you let me know I'll make what arrangements have to be made. The fact that there are no more objections does thank God, mean that the business won't weigh on me so heavily; and I should be able to clear it off pretty soon. With all good wishes & gratitudes & apologies for making myself a darned nuisance. Ben. K.
