| Transcript | Sheskinmore March 7th 1870 Dear sister I [write?] to let you know that I recd [received?] your letter on the 3rd of March. I am sorry for George having bad health. You talk of renting your place and going to Washington. I think you are better off as you are. You have your own house and firing, and what you can't crop try it on shares with Manus or some other. So enclosed in this you will find an order for three Pound Sterling which I send to you. So I expect that the Post Master or your Priest will get it to you. I could find no other way of sending it you. As soon as you get cash for it, rite [write?] and let me know. If you do not get it save the ticket and return it to me. So far Dear Sister, I and sister Mary is well. Brother Patrick, wife and family are well. I cannot boast of the rest as Brother Hugh's 3rd daughter has the fever. Mary is up and fit to take care of the rest. Sister Elenor's [Eleanor?] daughter Hannah is lying with the fever, and Hugh Gery fell out with his wife and made off for New York and left his old mother. So I send my best respects to all my brothers and sisters, husbands and families. To Jean Gery, husband and family and to Martin Fitzpatrick, wife and family. Let him know that I am well and I remember well the time he rode his charly horse the days for me to get me the priest. Brother Patrick rec'd [received?] Sister Nancy's letter. Let your daughter know that this present is in the regard of the dollar she gave to mee [me?] when I was leaving there and the use of it since. So no more but of your brother Thomas Gallaugher [Gallagher?] Notes: The reference to "Washington" is believed to be the town of Washington, Indiana. This letter was copied from the original by: J.
