Eideird,

Is tric a bhios an aon chòmhairle freagarrach dhomhsa cuideachd...
Is often that will-be the one advice suitable to-me also..
That advice is often suitable for me too.

An urrain dhut stad ann am Belleville nuair a bhios thu a' dol a Ceap 
Breatuinn ? 'S toil le Miss Molly a bhith a' faicinn aoighean.

Can you stop in Belleville when you will be going to Cape Breton? Miss 
Molly likes to see visitors.

Feumaidh tu  tadhail air an Fheis an Eilein ann an Ceap B.

You'll have to visit the Christmas Island Festival when you're there in 
C.B. The last day is August 25; details in the latest Am Braighe, or you 
can contact them at [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Christmas Island is 
within easy reach of Baddeck and St. Anne.

A Sheònag,

Bithidh, mur am fàs iad ann an ciall gu leòir airson 's gun tilg iad amoch mi!

Will-be, if-not (?) will-grow they in sense enough for-the-sake-of  and that
will-throw they out me!
(I really don't know about this word-for word translationseems off-base to
me)

I will, unless they become sensible enough to throw me out!

Is math leam gum bi thu a' tighinn, gu h-àraid ré seachdainn a' chursa taomaidh,
agus bithidh mi a coimhead amoch air do shon.

Is good with-me that will-be you coming, especially during week of-course
immersion, and will-be I looking out for your sake.

I'm glad you're coming, especially during the immersion week, and I'll be
looking for you.

A bheil duine sam bith eile a' tighinn ach Seònag agus Kira agus Cliff? (Cha do
dhio-chuimnich mi gu robh sibhse a' tighinn cuideachd, a chàirdean!)

Is person any other coming but Janice and Kira and Cliff? (Did not I forget that
were you coming also, friends!)

Is anyone else coming except for Janice, Kira, and Cliff? (I didn't forget that
you were coming too, friends!)

Le meas,
Aonghas

Eideird,

'S math sin! 'S toil leam gu mòr coin agus cuileanan gu h-àraid.
Bha cù mòr againn, "German Shepherd" agus "Golden Lab" air
an cuir am measg. Tha sinn a smaointinn gum faigh sinn cuilean eile an

Is good that! Is liking with-me greatly dogs and puppies especially.
Was dog big at-us, GS and GL on their putting together. Are we thinking

That's good! I really like dogs and especially puppies. We had a big

Indeed! I'm sure she's playful!
* The "fhéin" simply intensifies the saying.

Am faod mi rudan beaga a mholadh dhuit, Eideird?
May I suggest some small things, Edward?

"Is toil leatha a bhith.."

'Sann direach coltach ri leanaban a tha i.

The simple statement would be "Tha i coltach ri leanaban", and when
you change it around to emphasize something, the basic structure remains
the same.

Slàn leibh, Eideird, agus bithidh spòrs gu leòir
agaibh ré na miosan 's a tighinn!
Health with-you Edward, and will-be fun enough at-you during the months
and soming!
.and you'll have lots of fun in
the coming months!

Congratulations to you! I hope to be seeing Miss Molly sometime.

I like dogs an awful lot. I went to the Highlands of Durham Games and
saw many Scottish dogs.
