| Transcript | New York 385 Greenwich St 15th October 1844 Dear Thomas, I take my pen, to inform you, I wrote you by the Packet ship, Patrick [Hennessy?] for Liverpool on the 6th Inst, enclosing the rect [receipt?], which you sent me fearing anything might happen on her passage, that is the reason I write to you now, and having left the boarding House, I was in, when I wrote you last, I wish you to direct as above to the care of Mr Saul Burrell, if you have not wrote before this reaches you, I should like you would remit me the order, & send it in time to come out by the Brittania, which leaves on the 4th [Nov?], if not by the very first packet ship that leaves after that date, nothing new since I wrote you last, but on the one of a Presidential Election, which will be hotly contested, business pretty much on a stand here to see how the Election will go, one candidate for free trade, & one for a protective Tariff, the Election [holds?] for this City & State on the 5th [Nov?] I will send you a paper, which will let you know how it goes, I hope your health is improved, very soon & I'm in good health, [he?] unites with me in best respects believe me to be Yours very truly turn over Jas [James?] Heather As I mentioned in my last if you hear anything from my wifes friends, or any other person, relative to having left her, dont believe any thing you hear, as I understand she [he?] has wrote [home?] to her friends, & talks about going home & taking my daughter with her, against my inclination, I have tried every way to persuade Sarah [Olivia?] to come to me, where I have a [good?] home for her, but she will not consent to leave her mother, & if she goes with her mother, she will be stuck up with her friends, and the end will be marry a Roman Catholic which will tend to her ruin, as it has nearly been the case with myself, she is not of age, & I think I can take her from her by force, [through?] her mothers means she has no affection for neither her brothers nor I, but no matter for that, she is my child & I must look after her, she is acting foolish for herself, & will repent of her stuberness [stubbornness?] and not obeying me, but I cant [can't] altogether blame her as she is put up to it by her mother, J H [James Heather?] |
