| Transcript | Augusta Ga [Georgia?] 31 Jany [January?] 1870 W. J. C. Allen Esq Ulster Bank Belfast My Very Dear Sir On the 26th inst Messrs J & J Stuart & Co New York City forwarded to you for my acct [account?] their Exchange No 17011 on the Ulster Banking Co. in your favour for One Hundred & fifty Pounds sterling payable on demand. I wish Fifty pounds of this to go for the benefit of Mrs Grace M'Whinney [McWhinney?] œ50-00-00 to be paid to her husband. To Mrs Margaret M'Whinney [McWhinney?] for herself œ20-00-00 Twenty pounds & for the board & lodging of Miss Lucinda Carroll for one year with her to be paid quarterly Twenty pounds œ20-00-00 and directly to Miss Lucinda Carroll œ10-00-00 -------- œ100-00-00 by a post-office, or some other convenient order the sum of Two Pounds ten shllgs [Shillings?] quarterly œ2-10-00. I have more difficulty in disposing of the remaining fifty pounds - It appears that at the earnest instance of Grace M'Whinney [McWhinney?] her uncle the Rev James McKee now her near neighbour & always much interested in her & her sister became security for her husband for œ50 pounds for which he (McKee) has been sued. I know not whether he has had to pay this as being security or if it has already been paid from Wr M'Whinney's land or chattels. I would like to protect the old gentleman as far as this fifty pounds will go. I understood that if it had been entered in law last October and was to be collected this month. Our friend Mr Bones was able to attend Church yesterday the weather being very mild, but he is very feeble. Miss Longstreet is quite well. I am thankful to be able to say that my sight enables me to walk about without much difficulty. Mr Harper Bryson & family I believe are now in their usual health. Mr J. Davison & Mrs Bryson still my neighbours are quite well. With kind regards to Mrs Allen Very Truly Yours R. [Robert?] Campbell by Mrs G - |
