| Transcript | Armagh 23rd March 1863 My dear Sir, I received a list of McReynolds's debts from Mr Jones the Curate at Ardtrea upwards of a month ago; it amounts to œ280, & I know that McReynolds owes his sister about œ50 in addition. I annex a copy of the list which Mr Jones says was left with him, with a request that he should forward it to me & he adds he thinks it probable there may be more. I think however that œ350 will be the outside. What I would suggest would be that the family should get a portion - say one third & that the residue should be paid to the creditors in proportion to their claims. Of course I should take care to ascertain that each claim was legitimate before paying anything. - McReynolds wife I think wishes to emigrate & leave him, and from all I hear they would perhaps be better settled, for he is a sort of imbecile & she is no great things. If I am right about this it might be well to give her what would take her out of the Country - say œ10 or œ15. I should be able to get the most reliable information as to all these matters from Mr Jones to whom I shall write by the post. The 3 1/2 years rent to Nov. last amounts to œ52.17.9 & the costs will be about œ3 - say œ56 in all, to be deducted in the first place. I should say that McReynolds is about 45 years of age I remain Yours very faithfully G. [George?] Dunbar Esquire |
