| Transcript | Dear Matty New York 1 August 1787 Annexed you have Copy of my last & the 21 past I recd [received?] yours 29th May the letter came to me of the 26 Decr [December?] by post from Philad [Philadelphia?] but by [Lyne?] [house?] [post?] in there I cant [can not?] [Course?] for it came by no pacquet. The support of the Clergy is [pretty?] equally distrusted here, not so with you. I hope your next will advise me of Mr Sadlers returning & what the people with you have determined on. Mr Isaac has not wrote me, I wonder he has not seen you in [attic?] [rest?] of my letter. Its best if you give a trifle more to have a good Bailif [bailiff?] I hope by the time this gets to hand you have been able to make the remittance you mention I think you right to take a ride to Cottown taking one of the Girls with you or one of our Cousins & on your return Molly & Bill could spend a little time there, a little exercise on Horseback will do you good, I cant [can not?] think of any purchase untill [until?] I come to Ireland I have by this pacquet wrote Mrs Bourden Challet & Bourden in London to remit you or Mr Norris Five Hundred pounds Sterling which together with what is in his hands will pay of [off?] Mrs Clark my reason for desiring them to remit is the [Exa?] is better than your drawing another 500 British may in that case yield 545 Irish & am in hopes with the 100 you mention to send him he will have sufficient for the remr [remainder?] however shoud [should?] it fall short I have desired them to send you 20 or 30 Ster [sterling?] so that I may not be disapointed [disappointed?] in having that affair Settled upon my letters geting [getting?] to hand. I expected Mr Norris had just the money in his hands in the Irish funds but it seems he has not. [Jump?] young for the moneys due me here, but with little success hitherto I have fair promises With love to our Sisters & Comp [Compliments?] to all friends I am &c write the Gentlemen in London & Mr Norris on receipt hereof Mr Isaac will direct you in taking the proper discharge. HY [Hamilton Young?] pacquet Belfast D McMeaken |
