| Transcript | To:- Mr Alexander McClorg Templemoyle near Nutinlimevady [Newtownlimavady?] county Dery [Derry?] Ireland Philadelphia March the 1st 1832 Dear Father Mother Brothers & sisters I now enform [inform?] you that through the mercys [mercies?] of God we are all in good health & hope that this shall find you in the same. I have the pleasure of seeing my Brother Robert evry [every?] week he is in good health at present I sent two letters to Pitsburgh [Pittsburgh?] to Brother William but received no answer on the 22nd Ult I seen William Dill he enformed [informed?] me of his going to Ireland by way of new york and I sent word by him to brother John to come for his [w?]atch We had a very severe Winter here this season those who have been living here for some years backs has never before witnessed such [?] on average there has no less than 170 died each week within the City our Markets here this season has been very A[?] when compared with this we have the hapiniss [hapiness?] of seeing Mrs Ross repeated by also Wm [William?] & family he is well & doing well I would be glad that you would favour me with a letter as soon as possible to inform me how my father mother & all the family enjoyed their health since I left them I desire that you would remember me to Uncles & aunts with other enquiring friends To [too?] I remain your affectionate daughter until death Anne Forest. I wish to let Geo. [George?] Steward know with regard to the business in hand concerning the money that he expected coming to him with David Hazlet you can let him know that the agent he employed was here the 1st of Novr [November?] & notised [noticed?] Mrs Hazlet to pay up as law directed but would not acknowledge to pay any thing she has taking out a defence against the agent. She expects that no person here can prove that your Wife With her two sisters Mrs King & Mrs Simpson are the lawful sisters of David Hazlet, the plan that I would think most advisable would be for some person to make their affidavit there before a magistrate and send it over to Captain Graham or any other person that you think proper |
