| Transcript | N. Y. [New York?] Feby [February?] 3rd 1875 Dear Cousin Willie. Willie's little girl Julia died on Sunday evening at Newport of pneumonia. It is a terrible blow to poor Willie & Mary as no parents could have been more fond of a child than they have always been of her She had always been a strong child but some three weeks ago she took a heavy cold which settled on her lungs & assumed alarming symptoms. On Tuesday she seemed so much better & as the Doctor thought all danger past, Willie returned home to us & unfortunately as the wires are not worked on Sunday to the country, did not receive the telegrams sending for him until Monday morning, when all was over. There is nothing new here and little signs of a revival in trade. The panic is still bearing its fruits & capital is distrustful of everything which is not considered A.1 & money continues at 2% on call Jimmy Cross told me last evening that he had misinformed me about the N. Y. [New York?] Cities, which Morton Bliss & Co.> [Company?] are selling at 106/2 cy [currency?]. Instead of 7% cy [currency?] bonds, they are 6% Gold - There are no quotations in this mornings [morning's?] paper but I will send you word on Saturday what cy [currency?] 7%s are worth. Won't you please impress on W. A. Y. the necessity of consigning goods to us at the prices you sell direct at. You have no right to invoice at less than than (sic) the lowest price you sell at direct. The York St. [Street?], people #PAGE 2 think, will have to pay the Govt. [Government?] the full amount of the claim and it is on this very ground, in fact some invoices, as I have told you, were seized because the cases were changed to Jas. [James?] F. White [?] & Co. [Company?], at more than duplicates were, in their Consignments to their agents here. Remember this with the brown goods you are going to send us & also with the Hollands which are coming all the time. I don't like this present system, as I know any clerk in the office could give information which would give you much trouble. There is nothing new in the Zinc Co's [Company's?] suits. They are doing a good business in iron & fairly in oxide & spelter. Cousin Rowland wrote me on 29th Ulto. The weather is milder but he still suffers from his Cough. I wonder if Chaine has had any disagreement with his new agents Geo [George?] Hughes & Co. [Company?]? I can't understand the auctioning his linens at this time. Please give my love to Cousin Jane & all of yours. Yr. [Your?] afft [affectionate?] cousin Roland Redmond Wm [William?] Young Esq. Fenaghy P.S. Put this in the fire when read. |
