| Transcript | Alaxand. [Alexander?] Taylor Esqr. Owen O'Cork Mills Bloomfield Belfast Ireland TAYLOR & TAUBE, 114 WALL STREET, TELEPHONE NO. 955 JOHN. New York August 1898 My Dear Alex, This is Saturday afternoon and I am free for the remainder of the day I have just been out to lunch with my big brother and we always have a chat about home the weather has cooled down today but the last two weeks it kept up till 97 in the shade I am writing this in Georges Office because I have not the chance in my Office, I have too much to do there and so many fellows are off for their holidays I like the work first rate. I was down at [Anern?] near the sea (Rockaway) two Sundays ago on Invitation and spent a nice day with Jim and his family I had been suffering from a cold at the time but the temptation to go into the water overcame me and I got a bad doze [dose.] of Bronchitis something I never had before. Lucky that my brother in law who is practising at Bellevue Hospital New York was at hand and understood my case thoroughly brought me round pretty well I find it quite convenient to have such a friend and he is a very clever fellow he was telling me he was highly complimented by the [ru?]ling Surgeon for his Knowledge on medicine over any of the others You will no doubt have read of this place it is enormous the size of it. I will now thank you for your prompt answer which George sent over to my Office on arrival of same I was very glad to see it but so sorry at heart to hear such news of poor Harry It is hard for me to think of Harry in such a state. I saw your letter to George and it just strikes me dumb really cannot say anything It makes me feel thankful that I put down my foot when I did I do trust that he will be brought around allright [alright?] but the question is will he ever be the same and able to take care of himself. Georges family are all away #PAGE 2 and [W?]ill Gertie & Barron are also away out of town. Bye the bye I had not read what you called my attention to but I have been studying the "Bear" quite a [little?]. What you want to do over there is to get a hold of some old witch to bring Disraeli out of his Grave you fellows are loosing your jingo the American papers say you got out of it by Compromise it made me mad to read it, When Japan is waiting her chance I think England has nothing to fear but you'll see that England will suffer over that Chinese business I am giving you the General opinion here but they maybe wrong & I heard from Marie last week saying she had a nice letter from Mary I sent her Mary's address. I am glad to hear you are all such [wheel?] people I did not bring my [wheel?] to New York with me it is too hot to ride here. We were all so glad to hear Mother was feeling so well it is wonderful how she keeps up. My Office address you will see on that Sunday paper I sent you last week 184 Front St c/o L. M. Palmer Esq. I will now close with love to Adela & Children also all at Rathcoole Hoping business will pick over there soon with you. I am your Attached Bro [brother?] Hugh Taylor |
