| Transcript | (Microfilm copy available under MIC 531) Correspondence of the Greer Family of Dungannon, Co. Tyrone Deposited by the late Captain U. McG. Greer [Letter from Mary Greer, Dublin to Thomas Greer, Dungannon] Dublin 6: 12th: 1777 Honoured Parent Thy very Acceptable letter I received and hopes the advice it contained will have due weight, should have answered it long are [ere ?] this, had I thought myself Qualified to Dictate a letter worthy thy persural. A letter I received from sister Jenny yesterday has informed me of thy displeasure at my not writing before, the cause of which I hope thou will rather think proceed from a conciousness [consciousness ?] of my own Inability than the effects of inatention [inattention ?] to thy advice, which I can asure [assure ?] thee ever had and I hope ever will have sufficient weight with me. Acording [according ?] to thy desire shall be ready to acompany [accompany ?] the friend from Dublin, tho [though ?] I expect to be disapointed [disappointed ?] a second time, as there is a friend one Eliza. [Elizabeth ?] Robinson landed at Waterford, who I suppose will travel with Mable Wigham, through Leinster and Munster, perhaps I may be wrong as it is only my own supposition, by a letter from Jo. [Joseph ?] Garret we hear Thos. [ thomas ?] Weiley John Grubb and Eliza. [Elizabeth ?] Robinson ware [were ?] taken by an American Privateere [privateer ?] the men on board ware [were ?] mostly Indians but took nothing from them except some spirits and premited [permitted ?] them to go in their own vessal [vessel ?] to Watterford [Waterford ?] which was pursued by a seacond [second ?] privateere [privateer ?] but was not overtaken. I hope what I have wrote [sic] will in some measure satisfy thee, that the advice thy letter contained, was not wholy [wholly /] lost, upon one unworthy of it, but believe what I have wrote [sic] to be sincere sentaments [sentiments ?] of my hart [heart ?] tho [though ?] Incapable of expressing them as i ought. From thy sincerely Affectionate Daughter Mary Greer. |
