| Transcript | To Mr W.G. Smith Carrickmacross Ireland From: Liverpool 25 March 1847 Mr Smith Sir, With great difficulty I have been enabled to secure a suitable large ship for Quebec to sail 6th April but terms are beyond what we could have wished £3 - per adult. Children half price, parties paying their own steamboat fare to Liverpool- Every exertion has been used to persuade ship owners to let us have such as would suit sooner, Nothing but high terms would bring them to a close which leaves agents for all their trouble and attention a mere trifle I have secured accommodation for a large lot & shall therefore feel obliged by your letting me know per return, if by any means possible, near how many of your people may come for her. The ship will be ready to receive them on board on their arriving here and no delay will be permitted after the appointed time - as I have given a guarantee tis important to know immediately what number to calculate on - There are two other small vessels taking a few each. a day or two sooner but not under £3-10-0 I did not therefore name them to you knowing this was quite over your expectation - Relying on your immediate reply I am, very truly yours Thos [Thomas?] Elliott Mr W.G. Smith Carrickmacross |
