| Transcript | William Young Esq. Dr.[Director?] ------------------ £1000. Morton Rose & Co. London 60 d/st [dollars per stone?] @ 485 1/2 $4855.00 ----------------------------------------------------------- New York Mch [March?] 31st '79 [1879?] My dear Willie You will find enclosed first for £1000 with a statement of the cost of it above I have a letter today from Sam giving me all the latest news of you all. He was about starting to meet Mary and I do hope he found her well and in good spirits. We should hear by this weeks Cunard Steamer from her. I think that she fancied herself worse than she really is, no doubt being, the invalid of the family and being treated as such aided the fancy and I believe the Doctors think that change of scene will do her as much good as your bracing fresh air. Of course she has a touch of malaria and it is not all fancy with her - The net gain in Feby [February?] of the Zinc Co was $1695. The extraordinary expenses were legal. $1661 + Taxes $500. They sell their iron + oxide freely but the latter at only 3cts [cents?]_ There is I am glad to say a disposition on the part of Taylor to make a compromise. So far there is nothing definite but I believe a settlement #PAGE 2 is near at hand and that I will have some news for you soon. In our business prices are extremely low We are selling but have to meet ruinous rates to keep goods moving. Cotton is up and cotton goods have already stiffened up and stocks are not large and I believe that we will see better prices for linens if the stocks at home are not too large Money is sharp 7% and stocks + bonds of Railways are high. Coal stocks do not show an improvement, the auction sale of coal last week being lower than ever. We are all quite well which I trust is the case with all of you. With much love to you all believe me Your afft [affectionate?] cousin Roland Redmond Wm. [William?] Young Esq. |
