| Transcript | Mrs Adam Duffin Broughshane Ballymena Ireland London Monday 23d 1814 My dear Ellen I have not yet had a line from you or any friend in Ireland, and I am really all anxiety to learn if any further application has been made by the Belfast Bank towards the payment of Lord O Neills [?] - I have not yet been able to procure an interview of His Lordship, He being always when I call out of Town, and I think has no inclination to meet me - (However this is to yourself) - This Business gives me a good deal of concern, and will cause me a longer stay here than I intended, as on my return no doubt the Bank will immediately look for payment from me; and when absent I think will rather have recourse to the principal - I have written to William by this Days Post concerning the state of this Market which indeed is very dull, not only for the linen, but every other branch of Business - and I think the less that is done for some time the better; unless goods have lowered very much in price - I live mostly a few Miles out of Town with Mr Johnston, but if I stay any time I shall go down to the Isle of Wight where His family reside - In my last I told you where to direct letters for me - viz at Messrs Courtail Tiplady & Harrisson where letters will still find me - I hope our dear little fellow Charles has got quite safe thro' [through?] the Cow-pox - Kiss both Him and Ann Jane for me, and tell the latter I expect to hear that she is quite Mistress of the alphabet, and is an obedient good child - Dear Ellen I am truly happy in receiving long letters & details from those I love, but I really cannot return the compliment, and shall now conclude with best wishes for all friends, and subscribing myself your [own?] affectionate Adam Duffin |
