| Transcript | Augusta 19th June 1876 W. J. C. Allen Esq Belfast My Dear Sir Your much esteemed favour of 3rd inst. is before me for which please accept my sincere thanks Since last writing you I have received letter from London with Bond from Mr Smedley and his associates drawn up in legal form binding themselves to deposit the money to our joint credit in the "Union Bank of London" subject to my order when the titles are received and approved at that Bk [Bank?] œ1000 to be deposited on hearing from me and the remainder of purchase money to be paid on delivery of deed. They have also increased their purchase to 110,000 acres and inasmuch as the "Union Bank" is the correspondent of the "National Park Bank" New York where I do my business, I have accepted their terms all to pass through the New York Bank, so hereafter they can have no excuse and I can incur no risk beyond ordinary expenses in executing the preliminaries I much preferred to have the matter pass through your Bank but they seemed to think it more convenient to deposit in London and close the matter there. I am under many obligations for your frequent courtesies and it will afford me great pleasure if ever in my power to reciprocate on this side of the water I hope you will have a pleasant time at Portrush I wish I was there now but as matters stand on this side of the Atlantic it is prudent to stay at home and watch events I am sorry to know everything dont seem smooth over there neither and regret to see that you have had another heavy failure in Belfast, hope you have escaped its effects. Our Geo R Road Co [Georgia Railroad Company?] is doing remarkably well considering the times It is the best managed institution in the country and you may well say that Judge King is "An Evergreen" the same might be said of John Davison and many other members of the Board, we seldom make a change. This year there was a vacancy and without my knowledge some of my friends saw fit to vote for me (though not a candidate) two or three others got votes the same way, in order to defeat an attorney who desired to be promoted. We have already eight prominent attorneys in the board so you may well think the legal profession is fairly represented in our corporation. Our crop prospect has never been so promising, thus far, in twenty years and the negroes have never worked more faithfully in slavery times. With kind regards to your family and associates of my acquaintance I am dear Sir Yours most sincerely Thos [Thomas?] W. Coskery. |
