Dear comrades, a fortunate event

[hawkwing_lb]

Your humble correspondant has received preliminary confirmation that in the coming academic year she will be in receipt of a SCHOLARSHIP from the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences, said scholarship alleged to be valued at ENOUGH MONEY TO LIVE ON.

Until receipt of final confirmation, yr. correspondant takes leave to continue to FRET and WORRIT, although to a degree much reduced by this most welcome notice of relief.

Huzzah, huzzah! Yr. correspondent in the wilds of Russia offers her felicitations, being MUCH CHEERED to hear of the GOOD TASTE and SOUND JUDGMENT evinced by said Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences (and humbly prays that the recipient will satisfy her curiousity as to "scanned, uncorrected 18th century things." The style is indeed infectious.) It is of course most pleasing to see MERIT REWARDED, especially if the result tends towards the furtherance of SCHOLARSHIP.

Yaaaaaaay! Congrats!

Being much entertained by your late message, yr. humble servant begs you will accept her most sincere thanks, and is pleased to inform you that the "18th century things" aforementioned are in fact the most antique issues of the Dublin Freeman's Journal and Dublin Evening Post, not neglecting also Arthur Young's Tour of Ireland, and de Latocnaye's A Frenchman's Walk through Ireland, with which yr. correspondent has diverted herself in the cause, not to say, of Research, but rather of Personal Amusements concerning the history of her own SADLY LAMENTED COUNTRY.

Or,

Thanks! :D
