| Transcript | Letter from Lytle Black, 602 N Adams Street, Chicago, Illinois, to his father-in-law, Mr Hall [Thomas Hall of Loughgall, County Armagh?] concerning John L Hall. 10 October 1889 602 N Adams St [Street?] Chicago 10th Oct [October?] 89 [1889?] My Dear Sir yours of the 23d Sept [23rd September?] to hand in good time. I have had sevoral [several?] letters from John since I wrote you last. He seems very anxious to come to this citty [city?] and I am sure if he was here he would do well, that is if he has made up his mind to work and do right. If he dus [does?] that I will devide [divide?] the last Doller [dollar?] with him and do all in my power to get him into a position but the trouble is how is he to get here and how is he to be clothed. It takes about 4 pounds Sterling to pay his Railway Ticket at least so he wrights [writes?] me and I am sure he has no money. If I could spair [spare?] it I would gladely [gladly?] do so but regrett [regret?] I am not making more money than keeps my self up to the present but am every week hoping something better will turn up soon. The house I was with first has come to greef [grief?] which was the cause of me having to lieve [leave?] and has put me to considerabell [considerable?] inconvenience but of corse [course?] I could not help that. I am now in a better house but it will take me some time to get up a new traid [trade?]. I think John should get a chance and there is no hope of him dowing [doing?] anny [any?] good where he is but he cannot come here without money. I understand John was with James Anderson some time agow [ago?] but his appearance was so much against him that Mr Anderson did not try to do anny thing [anything?] for him. I could get nothing out of Mr D [David?] Anderson about what he was like but he said his brother told him that he was looking very bad at the time. This is some considerabell [considerable?] time since. There is nothing new with me. I am in Spleanded [splendid?] health and like the countery [country?] very much and havent the shaddow [shadow?] of a doubt but I will ultamately [ultimately?] succeed, but its very hard work. Hoaping [hoping?] you are all quite well I am Dear Sir Yours sincerely Lytle Black. |
