| Transcript | I read yours dated 27th ninth month and was not a little surprised to find you would not send the money you received on my cut after you desiring me to empower a person to receive it from you and that you would pay it if Jas.[James?] Heather Had a claim on me he knew where to find me if I did not settle with him. He has a remedy [----?] that I was intitled [entitled?] to my part as well as any of the other Legatees you paid and therefore you are aware that you could not be made accountable for paying me more than the rest. I have property both here and in Ireland and will stand in your shoes if any claim should be made against you therefore I hope and request you will pay over to Doctor Young the amt [amount?] of first dividend and when Jas? [James?] Heather comes together by letter I shall not be afraid to come to a settlement and explanation of our affairs let Jas? [James?] and I settle our own affairs I am not going to run away neith [neither?] will I defraud any person From a long course of sickness both me and my family have suffered very much since we came here this with the disappointment of not getting my just due from you has left me and my family in a distressed state at present not being able from sickness to raise what would support my family. Consequently had to go in debt as I could not see my family starve beside this I owe a large bill to our Doctor for medicine and attendance and I believe have not one months provisions at present & how I am to support my family to Return of next Harvest God only knows but after that I trust to have plenty providing my Creditors ly [lay?] off me to relief comes from you the second & third dividend may remain in your hand to you hear from me which will be immediately after I receive from you the first dividend in course of some time I hope to get money from my agent and also Have [them?] Made Here but if I don't get my money from you now my property will only be sacrafised [sacrificed?] and my self [myself?] & family drove to beggary but I still have a better opinion of you that you will not take the advantage of me seeing that I am so far of [off?] & in a strange land if you refuse payment of my money on a supposed debt being due why might you not refuse payment to Jas [James?] on the same Grounds who left several debts unpaid and no property behind him shurly [surely?] on cool deliberation you will not consider your self [yourself?] justifiable in stopping my money & if I was not in distress and was to lose it all what would I care now before I conclude will just say I hope you will not be the means of driving my & family to utter ruin leaving the matter for the present between your God & you Mr Thos [Thomas?] Grieves I am Dungannon Yours truly Brackville,Upper Canada Wm.Heather America. |
