| Transcript | [The following letter was hand written on note paper embossed with family crest.] Ballymena March 20th 1838 My dear Annie I am greatly in your debt, but find it quite impossible to pay you off for all your little notes. Today I have to remain here till five o'clock + so have concluded to write you & Mary a little note each. I fancy you will like to see the handwriting though this should be writing in the note. I often think of you all, though out of sight, you are not out of mind. I am very anxious lest you + Mary should be carried away by the triffles [trifles?] + folly of this world, as to forget Your Souls. O Annie remember there is nothing in this world could make up for the loss of it Give our Gracious Saviour Your Whole heart, tell him everything & ask Him to do with what He pleases - Have no will but His. Love Him with all your heart, for Who is so loving + kind + good as He is. We expect Willim [William?] S. To day he is to remain with us until tuesday, + then goes to Mr Skilton; on his way back he means to pay us a longer visit. I am waiting to take him with me I hear you draw figures very nicely you are something like me in preferring them to landscapes, not that I would throw any reflections on landscapes but unfortunately I never could draw trees - I wish I could paint + had time to work at it Johnny Noble is in this neighbourhood at present came to visit his friends before settling in the far West of America. He is engaged in some lead mining speculation in which by his own account he is to make a fortune. He is the same talky [sic] little fellow he always was. I am + Johnny are to meet him at Tullym[an?] at dinner to day. My time is up, so good bye Ever your affect. [affectionate?] Brother William Young. |
