Summary

Mansfield St

February 26th

Hildebrand

I enclose the remaining half note cheque

You think the cutting the edge of the lake is a much greater piece of work than I want to have done. I only want the untidy rough looking grass at the edge to be dug away --- just to make the place look a little tidy --- You had better get it done in a slight way as soon as you can.--- before the hurry of Spring work begins. We had a heavy fall of snow here last Sunday, but now it is all gone, & we have mild weather --- the Cold has been terrible ever since I have been in Town until yesterday.

Yours

Catherine Sligo

I do not think it likely that Lord Altamont will go to Ireland immediately after his arrival in England --- & I certainly will not go to Westport for a long time
