| Transcript | Bernagh, 4th day8 3 oclock [Probably written Wednesday July 27th, 1818] My dear Ann We were anxiously waiting to Hear what Time you wd be in Dublin, & only Got a Letter from Dan this Minute. Thos. [Anne’s brother] sets off in the coach this Evening: he Brings a letter from me to my Bt. Thomas & some other letters. I am afraid Thos. will not be in time to see thee as he only got Dans Letter to Day. We are all in Confusion, thy Mother would have wrote to thee But could not, She sends thee a small Bundle of things which she sacked them up Least [lest] they would be siezed by the officers. I Have no time to say Much, but with Ernest Desires to you may Have a safe passage, & that you may be preserved in the fear of the Almighty which is our Ernest prayer, and conclude with Dear Love to Wm & self which thy Dr Mother Join, we Bid you Affectionately Farewell from thy Loving Father John Greeves |
