   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Travelling folk still call at my home. Some of the people have been doing so for years. There are very poor. People buy from them.
   They sell small articles such as mats, small tables, statues, lace, delph, laces, brushes and safety pins. Some travellers are welcome. They do not remain longer than a night at a time.
   They sleep in tents. Some travellers have food with them. The alms they accept are flour, eggs, sugar, tea, milk, butter, meat and potatoes. They also ask for feathers, horse hair turf and hay.
   Some of these people travel on foot others of them travel on bicycles and in carts. they generally travel in families. Greens, Navins, Stephens, Mongans, and Stokes are best known in my district. They come in July to the fair of Athleague and in October to the fair of Ballinasloe. they do not tell stories. People do no gather around them,
