My dear sister
We have got a new Gold coinage of what are called sovereighns, which are of the value of Twenty shillings British
for one & 10/- for half a one, & I enclose a half one under the seal ... the postage; say does it go safe. We have
no Irish money now: it is done away with and the ... is all British. As I expect thee has all the news worth writing
inside, I con[clude] & am with Dear Love to Wm & the children

thy afft brother Thomas Creeves

should not let them know at the post office ... [that there is?] anything ... [un]der the seal least it might go
