| Transcript | Augusta Ga [Georgia?] 30 Jany 1878 W. J. C. Allen Esq Belfast My Dear kind friend on New Year's eve I recd [received?] your welcome letter with enclosed kind wishes of the season, accept the same in return From my heart I wish you many happy new years - Your account of my sister is very cheering and pleasant. I trust the remainder of her life will be marked with grace & perseverance to the end. I thank you very much for the information regarding her remittance I did not do the business and know nothing about the relative value of the interest Mr Bean does the business and the amount of interest on her 2500$ 7pc is 175$ which he charges me with for her remittances. I will make the suggestion as coming from myself to send the full amount &c. Let me thank you again for the information, it was very kind of you to draw my attention to it. I was pleased to see in a paper called the "New York Sun" a paragraph making honourable mention of your Nephew Harper Campbell of Slygo [Sligo?] being so kind and benevolent to his tenants & forgiving them rents these hard times - I wish him every good and happy enjoyment with his family. I have not heard anything of your Uncle James' family since Miss Longstreet last saw you, shall always be glad to hear of their welfare. I presume your family are still with you two daughters & a son ? and long may you enjoy peace & tranquillity with them is my sincere wish Respectfully & Truly yours G. O. Giltenan P.S. I trouble you with the enclosed as I cannot make out the man's name she bid me address to. You can forward at your own convenience. G. O. G. |
