Off coast Ireland
Monday July 22, 1895
Dear Father,
Today we have an opportunity to send letters ashore and so I will give
you a brief account of how we fared[.] I have not been seasick since
the first night – but I was sick enough then to remember[.]
The first six days we had smooth water but on the seventh we blew a
gale, the worst, the captain said, the ship has encountered this season
and about the worst he ever saw in July. It quited down the next day
and we have been comfortable since.
Socially there have been all that could be desired and on the whole
the weather has not been bad.
We expect to reach Glasgow tomorrow early but letters will reach home
sooner if sent off at Moville[.]
Hoping you have not suffered neuralgia(?) and that I shall hear from
you soon
Lovingly Yours,
Charlie
