My dear Alexander
Your last letter reached
here all safe, the news contained
in it was indeed
good, and gave me very
great pleasure I congratulate
you and Alice with all
my heart, and feel very
thankful that the latter and the little son are
getting on so well. The
arrival of the baby must
be a great joy to you
both, I should so much
like to see the little fellow
It must have been a
great comfort to you
to have had Bessie with
Alice, Bess is so good
and kind, I am sorry
she had an attack of
her old enemy, & I dare say
Dr Dysart was glad to have
her under his care again
as I believe she was a
great favorite [favourite?] of his. It
was very good of you
dear Alexander to let
me know so promptly
of the little stranger's arrival
I knew the event was
expected, & was anxious
to learn the result. We have
had a very mild winter
here so far - no snow,
and only occasionally
frost in consequence of
which the skaters are in
despair, I think perhaps
it would be better for the
health of the city to have
snow, but I like the
warm weather better,
I have not yet got my share
of the proceeds of the sale
of the L. estate, but when
I do I want you to arrange
a little matter for me,
This is it - just before dear
Edwards death I promised
to give a small sum of
money to the Church fund,
some of which I have
paid, but there is more
yet to be given, which I
have not, up till now
been able to give, so when
I get this interest money
I will pay it (the balance) all together,
instead of in small instalments
first, it is only #12 I want
you like a good fellow
to give this to the general
Church of Ireland Fund,
& if that is not practicable
devote it to any Irish Church
purpose, something for your
little church - or whatever
you think best, only
keeping as close to my original intention as is possible
I hope you will not think
I am troublesome in asking
your aid in the matter
but you are the best person
to apply to and I know are always
ready to do a kindness - I have
so long wanted to pay this money
but somehow leading the roving
life I have; could never manage
it. I must write a few lines
to Alice now - so will shut
this off
Ever dear Alex
your affectionate cousin
Anna S King
