The Beatty family concerned were settled in Corlough, Aghalurcher Parish, County Fermanagh, in the early 18th century.] New York Oct [October ?]1875 Dear Thomas in answer to your kind letter which I received a month ago I write you these few lines to let yous (sic) know I am well thank God + also all my aquaintances so far as I know I had a letter from cousin Anne that is Tommy's Anne lately they are all well she said that Johnny was going home soon + that he would call + see me there is a young lady living here her name is Miss Kerr she has been home for the last 3 months her father lives in Elliott's old place she was in father's 2 or 3 times when she was at home and she says that they are all well she says that George is very tall + as thin as ever + John + Noble is verry [very ?] tall too she says that Noble is coming out here next spring she says that they [their ?] neighbours are all the same as usual she says that big George + John + William the three in the one field are working one in one corner + another in the middle + the other in the other corner I suppose they are afraid if they work together they would have to speak to each other + Uncle John is staying with Uncle Thomas at home now I have not heard much news from her yet let me know if Mr Kennedy that is Martha Jane Baxters husband found yous (sic) out he wrote a letter to me the other day asking for your address he said that he heard of a farm of land to be sold out there + he was going to buy it so I sent him your address on a postcard + told me [him] that you lived 10 miles out in the country but I suppose he did not find yous (sic) they [the ?] last letter I got from home Mother said she wanted you to send her a letter she said she was very anxious to hear from you so I think you should write her one.
