| Transcript | 45 Lr [Lower?] Mountpleasant Avenue Dublin March 23rd 1869 Dear Mr. Anderson I beg to acknowledge receipt of Two Bags of Potatoes which arrived here on Saturday for which I return you my sincere thanks - they are more prized as having come from the North, than even the value of them - I hope you have not left yourselves scarce by sending so many up here. The Potatoes now sold in Dublin are very bad, soft and ill tasted, as well as very dear in price. We always fancy the potatoes in the north, are of a different and agreeable flavour, from any brought to the Dublin Markets. I accept your present as from one friend or relative to another, and not from any trouble I have taken in making the necessary enquiries concerning the "Mackay" Estate, as I will always feel proud and gratified to be able to be of service to my Cousin "Susanna" (Mrs. Anderson) or any friend or relation without fee or reward - and sincerely hope you will be able to become the purchaser of at least [stained] farm, which I will be proud to hear. I was sorry to hear from your letter that Mr. Chamber's daughter was at the point of death, as he appeared to be very fond of her, and talked greatly about her when here - but I had a letter from him yesterday stating that she appeared to have taken a turn for the better, I hope sincerely she may get over her sickness, as it would be great trouble and grief to her parents if she dies. #PAGE 2 - we thought a great deal of Mr. Chambers when he was up, he is such a decent respectable [stained] man. When you see him tell him I received his letter - and will expect another letter from him if his daughter recovers to tell us - if it is willed for her to be taken away just now we will hear it soon enough. Hoping this will find you Mrs. Anderson & family in good health as it leaves us at present. I am Dr [Dear?] Sir Yr [Yours?] very truly Wm [William?] J Howard |
