| Transcript | It gave me much concern that my being abroad in the Counteys [Counties?] of Donegall & Sligo prevented me the honour of paying my dutiful respects to you when last at Hillsborough. I did not know of your being there until at Colerain [Coleraine?] on my return & [hear?] here from Mr Thompson of your Departure. I sincerely hope this will meet you & Lord Tilwarlin safe arrived in London, also that Lady Hillsborough is well, to both whom I presume to tender my most respectful compts.[compliments?] Having a considerable property at New York & Mr Young under whose care it was, having from Depression of Mind Lost his Reason, I had to Dispatch my son John thither in June last, he arrived there the 6 of Sept. I have just received a Letter from him dated the 17 Ulto [Ultimo?], that mentions some Difficultys [Difficulties?] in getting matters forwarded, & that the Countenance of the Commissioners General or Admiral may prove of Singular Service to him in facilitating them, which obligeth me to request of your Lordship to Inclose [enclose?] to him a Letter to each of them as you Please to render any service he may Inform he has occasion for, as their form of justice is very different to what it was in times of Peace & Tranquility. Your Lordship knows what a Property I had at Dominico & whether Secured by the Capitulation, or Lost, or if not how to get Home the Produce I know not, In case you could give me any Light on so Interesting Points it would be very kind & Indulgent. I have the honour to be with [kind?] Regard & Respect. My Lord Belfast 28 November 1778 Your Lordships Most Faithfull [faithful?] and Mo [most?] humble Thomas Greg. |
