BLACKWELL FAMILY K. BARRY McLean, Jeanie225 Gourlay St Springburn Glasgow. 3rd Sept 09 Dear Miss Barry, Many thanks for the kind letter I received today for you, it will be such a help. I was sorry at writing, but we have such a hard time. I have often thought about going to see Mrs. Napier but I was not sure about her address, I know she would be very pleased to help me, I will go &see Mrs. Napier next week & perhaps she will be able to get me something to do. I am very sorry to hear about Dr. Blackwell but, glad to hear she is suffering no pain. I hope you are keeping strong & well yourself. I have not been keeping well myself for some time The Doctor says I would need a rest & a change but I have just to work away as I am not able to get it. Sorry to hear your housemaid has gone & left you, but glad you have got a nice girl in her place. Hope you will write soon again & let me know how Dr. & yourself are keeping. With much love I remain Yours Sincerely Jeanie McLean
