| Transcript | To Mr W.G. Smith Carrickmacross Ireland From: L.pool [Liverpool?] April 2d 1847 Dear William, You will have received my petition ere this to save me from my Friends the Farney men. If they come off tomorrow it will be no easy matter to stand their humbuging [humbugging?] till the 12th, as tis now quite impossible any of them can get on board the John Bolton - if she could carry three times her number we could have Booked them this few days past at high rates Less than £3-5-0 has not been accepted for her lately - This places "Boot on Tother Leg" with your Gentlemens notions- Some parties must have been trying to deceive Mr. Kennedy when 50/- was named. I could not secure passages for adults were I to engage 500 at that rate without having 1/- by the whole Lot for my trouble. I hope you have kindly put a stop to your parties till Tuesdays Boat I wrote by the early Post day before yesterday hopeing [hoping?] it would reach you in time before the closing of the office to that effect. Nothing but having Names in sufficient time will secure accommodation - without disappointment or delay, which with a poor party is really distressing. You have all the Invoices you require. I expect the other thing by tomorrow. Markets tumbled down delightfully till yesterday during the whole of which we had a heavy fall of Snow & hard Frost last night - Indian corn and Flour in consequence went up again a trifle. Yours Dr. [Dear?] William Most truly Thos [Thomas?] Elliott P.S. I have not had time to see Mr Hunt I Understand he was to be off again this mornings Tide I have only returned from St Johns Church where Mr Faloon always delights the Congregation on such days as this- |
