| Transcript | Private Papers [Messrs. Shaw & Joy?] 29 Rosemary Street, Belfast D1364/I/29a&b 1872 New York January 30, 1872. Believe me my Dear Elizabeth I feel most deeply for you. [None?] but me who has had the experience, can know of the desolation felt by the survivor, when the Companion of his or her married life, is taken away. It will not be long before you & I will be called upon to follow, & knowing this our duty is to make such good use of the time alloted to us, is not to [dread?] the hour when it does come, but must do our duty in this world trust in the merits of our Saviour for happiness in the next. I was so glad to hear that my kind friend did not suffer a long & painful illness. What a lovely character his was & how deservedly & well he was beloved by every [one?] who ever saw him. My children who have been in Ireland speak of Uncle Robert with as much affection as of their nearest relatives. I suppose you will hardly continue to live at Hillmount. It will be too lonely for you. I shall be glad to hear what you have decided to do. We heard Mary Bingley was dangerously ill; the following mail, - that she was out of danger, - nothing since. I hope that she is again quite well. We are in the City & all very well. My children unite with me in expressions of love & Condolence & I am always My dear Elizabeth Your afft. [Affectionate?] Cousin William Redmond Mrs Young Hillmount Transcribed by Liam Boyd |
