Only two items in this image:
According to the stamp on the back I got this from LR Wood ltd of Pearse Street. The only times I remember shopping in Pearse Street were once I think we bought the gas-cooker for the first caravan we had in Dundrum Tipperary. That was in a big hardware shop near the Grosvenor Hotel. Both of these disappeared when Trinity College was extended and the Science Gallery build. The second time was to buy something in a very posh kitchen suppliers. All I remember is that what we bought was very small, but the service and attention we received was superb and made me feel like someone important.
BOX-LID
This lid from a box of Cadbury's Milk Tray chocolates shows the range of chocolates, and handwritten, which were people's particular favourites. Note that no-one chose Coffee Creme. It must have been some time later that one of the family befriended someone who had a passion for coffee cremes, and we used to send them our surplus.
Interestingly, today is the first day I read this letter, even though we had dozens of copies of it and recycled them on numerous occasions, without paying any attention to the original.
I knew the writer of the letter, Fr Jack McArdle, who subsequently was chaplain in the school where my husband worked as caretaker. I think the letter shows Fr. Jack's heart in a special way as he seeks to do something about the decline of family prayer. (click on the image to see a bigger version.)
