we should be looking out for each other now not denegraten people like that letter. he thinks we are still the dirt because we dident get something from life. we werent pets and looked after then like he was and they dident want to know us after only to clean there floors and toilets and polishing. he is like them now and thats says hes still the same as he was in the institutions. kieran

he even got out more and his food was great to. he told on us and i was put on a farm and he wasent because they liked him telling tales on us for more food. we are here still and so he wants to eat more and we get the scraps. he dosent want to see us as nice people and hes looking down his nose at us to like he did then. he never got hit by them either and he had a fancy pillow on his bed not like our one. and i remember him selling cooked stuff from the priests kitchen to the boys and he got all there comics. he shout in the dorms too when they checked our stuff and hed laugh when we were pulled by the ears into the middle to be hit. he is still a bad person and he pretends alot. i was told to go to his meetings by my wife whose ded now and he made us all pray before the meetings and that like the priests maken us do it isent it. after her dying he dident come around for monts and when he did he wants me to pay for missing his meetings. he had one of them christan brothers at the meetings sometimes to taking names and agrreeing with him. we were to say it wasent all bad in the institutions and we got fed good food. and he had people from the papers to but we left and he went mad at us calling names and stuff. kieran

i remember my time in Glin when we were all lind up in the yard near the washouse and made to take our clothes off to check for a robber who took a purse of pennies. he was there with them basterds and my jackstones were took and my blue marble too. we were all cold and nobody had a purse but he got loads off stuff from us with his friends. its a shame that there were people like him as it made it a hard life there when your only a child alone. he got great stuff for eating too as he was always in their kitcchens and he sold rasher rind too and i liked it but i dident ever get any from him. he knew i had a good scarve too and made me give it to him for a gato cake heed took and i was caut with it and i dident tell on him as they da beet me even more because theyda sed it was a big lie. my uncle joe had got the scarve from berminham for my confermation and i never got to be wearen it but he was wearen in at the condermation and his picture was took by my uncle joe who wants to beat him but hes trone off the steps by them basterds and i was beaten in the yard when we all get back very bad and he was laughing. hes still the same today knocking us down like its apposed to be that way but it isent. god bless all the good people here. kieran

tommo was always been the boss around us especially when a visitor was coming to one of us. my friend jimmy from only over the way at ballylongford had his mother calling after she had been in the hospital for a long time with the lungs and jimmy dident get to see her for another monthe because he was told on by tommo over wetten his bed. poor jimmy dident ever get over it and when he was made to kneel and say the rosery in the dorm every night he cried and he called for his mammy and tommo used to make this a big thing to laugh at. tommo would go around the beds too when as we were getting up and he would be sniffen the boys to see if they were after wetten there beds. tommo always put his hand up to tell on us. he was able to count too very well not like us so he would be counting us down the stairs and he count our slices of bread. i remember jimmy not ever eatin his crusts and giving them to his chums and tommo told on him and jimmy got a bad beaten but after it jimmy gave tommo a big kick that made tommo cry very hard and jimmy left with his mammy when it was easter. tommo is trying to get us all back in the chappel praying for the priests and doing all the work for them he is still doing that today and i only pray to god that someone should sniff at him and count his slices. kieran

tommo wasent what we called behind his back and if heed a ever found out we called him the craze hed a done blue murder. i remember a little dublin fella with sores on his head been hit by him and dident the little dublin lad give him a hedder in the chin that made his lip all red. he was after that lad for weeks and left him alone only after 2 other dublin lads were minden him. they were good lads and even squeezed a wet towl onto his sheets and but the itchee backs into his pillow and he was red with scrathcing. if we had a all doin that and stuff he woulden ever have been able for us at all. it was very hard to look him in the eye as we were all afeard of him but now we are telling it all that happened and he cant be pulling our hair and giving us them teribel pinches that made us purple. we all have to talk now and not be afeard anymore. kieran
