    (continued from previous page)
    There are about thirteen houses and about sixty people in our village. Three of these are very old and one of them can speak Irish. The other villagers speak English.
    From our village can be sen Sliab Bawn, and Ballinamuck, famous in history. A very nice scenery can also be seen.
    The bog can be seen and also the "Whinny Hill" which is covered with whins, is lovely to see when in bloom.
    It is a very nice village. Though some of the people have a long way to go to Mass they don't grumble.
