| Transcript | Marine Hotel Ventor 22 Feb 1877 My dear Willy I see by your handwriting on the envelope that you have read Roy's letter to me about the zinc continue to lead them till we know the exact value of the judgement although it throws but little light on the subject - there is one point of much importance damages are restricted to 6 years. During those six years I think I am safe in saying that the comp.[company?] only mined in what is called the "Buckwheat field" which has always been considered zinc ore and said field was not claimed by the parties to the suit which the comp. [company?] gained some 15 years ago. However the present judges may have decided that this field is Iron ore until I have further particulars I cannot write more In fact I have not had time to think over fully what Roly has written. He will write me oftener when he gets my letter of three weeks ago. $200 000 in the [trust?] [comp.?] is far more than I expected I feel now like compromising with [Withnal?] [Petent?] suit for I count to get rid of my liability on the Board to the Supreme Court. I am thinking of writing Watson on the subject, but must take time as not commit myself without him thinking (* in margin * what think you ?). This is all I can say & would & [----?] writing you for a [way?] to reason over mother were it not that I [wont?] want a post to leave without you hearing from me. I have now to [--on?] James's letter without date, but with four magnificent ships - many thanks to [her?] and "the captain" - I have availed of her request not to bother her with letters I have also had yours of the 29th Jany [January?] and 3 and 7th Aust. [August?] : by the former I see with much pleasure that you are getting rather 'big for your breeches' which John Young who spent two days with me last week fully confirmed. he too was looking very well. In a note from IM after his return to London he said that Roly had been making [sales?] and had telegraphed for [more?] goods. This looks [well?] He also told me that the Belfast [trade?] made after the [usual?] reductions œ1900 for the past six mos [months?] and that the will was doing fairly well not much less than last year all good news I dont know what to say about the Thames & Mersey shares- what could do with proceeds of my 50-? I see the [Lan?] [st?] [Con?] [Ri?] [Deelow?] at 6 1/4% Taking it for granted that you have seen my note of 19th to [---I & R T?] and that you have also seen [friend?] John I have now to say that I think the inhaling of Carbolic acid is doing me good - I feel my insides much more comfortable in being free from "Potacary's Nastincy" I called on the Doctor today but he is in his room and has been there since Monday 19th likely he did too much that day. With love to June and the youngsters Always and faithfully yours Rowland Redmond [------?] P.S. I have had to write Henry [Hoyt?] about zinc by this post so excuse irregularities RR. |
