| Transcript | Caledon, Ireland February 1846 My Dear Moty, On my return I found a letter I had intended to send to you in answer to yours had been been mislaid and not sent.I am sorry for this as you will have thought I had neglected to [write?] [How?] [do?] I stand with regard to money matters. I will send over œ500 to your credit at the British American Bank, Quebec and you can repay yourself, as I have not heard for some time of Flora or the family I suppose they are going on [quiet?] the best way would be I think for me to stop all payments, whatever [mantile?] they send over the children I should have them sent to a decent school where they could be kept well and until that is done I shall not give them anything more. Let me know how our account stands. the speech of Robt. [Robert?] Peel has frightened the landed proprietors and I think we shall have a sharp squeak for it at first, if I not married (sic) I should not have cared a straw as I was much better and more in my element with my [regiment?] than living at home. I have 3 young ones in training in England what they will do for me I do not know. I expect not much - I suppose it is not impossible that the [Region?] business may recall us to Canada I should be very glad - I have been on leave for a month there is no promotion going on - all the people hang on I hope there may be a move soon but see not much probability of one. I was sorry to hear that you had been a loser at the first I hope that it was not much have you seen or heard> of Old Kendall lately he used to write me a line now and then but I have not heard of him for the last year or more. Best love to Mrs.Moty and the young ladies who are I suppose now growing up fast.[Brargtally?] is in England but I have not seen him. Yours very truly, Caledon. I have no news to give you - as you will see all the debates which are the [only?] interesting affairs going on now-I hardly suppose they will much effect the Canadas. |
