Transcript | Portadown 5th January 1854 Dear Joseph, I have now the pleasure of sending you a copy of the receipts and expenditure connected with the property in Tandragee sharing a gross Balance of œ40. 4. 0 1/2 out of which is to come 5% on the receipts for receivers fees or to make the thing even œ3.4/. leaving a Balance at your disposal (J M Seawright & Robt. [Robert?] Moore?) of œ37.0.0. In note to put the small house in tenant able repair I have had it entirely thatched and a floor put into it and you will find 2 years Rent credited at 6/- per month. Although this statement is long coming I hope it will be satisfactory to you. By a letter received the other day I find the amount as made up by Mr McConnell of your debt against this property. May 19th 1847 to be œ177.7.10 on which he says you are to charge Interest at 5% and there is now due 5 1/2 years Interest. Mr McC [McConnell?] says no claimant can go behind your Eligit [sic] as to how the above amount is made up and of course there is no use in making out [account?] from the first Bond. You will find that up to the present time the receipts have scarcely paid the Interest and property has fallen so much in value I dont think it will ever pay much now. We are all well and all desire their kind love to you and Mrs Seawright. Wishing you many returns of this festive season. I am. Yours affectionately Hartford Montgomery |
