From Fernhurst Avenue Cork, dear Grandson. Let me welcome you into this really rather interesting world - which I hope will prove a peaceful and happy one to you! The present outlook is hopeful as you are provided with a set of as yet uneducated parents, whom it will be your duty and privilege to bring up in the way they should go - and as they will spend some time in adoring you and marvelling in their own cleverness in producing such perfection! As you are their first you will have virgin soil to work on - and you will fall away sadly from the family tradition (as established by your mother!) if you don't make a good hand of their education - so that when you come to years of (in) discretion they will watch from afar, without undue interference (if any) in your goings-on. I hope we may make your acquaintance next year at latest, when in addition to the two slaves you have already at command - you will find four more elderly but willing victims, to say nothing of a host of Aunts and other relations and friends. The antediluvian parent kids send you greetings and love - and hope in your case that distance does lend enchantment to the view. Grandmother D.
