| Transcript | Envelope marked: Rowland Redmond, Esq care of Mrs. Betty 130 Pembroke Road Dublin Postmarked: 15 JU 66 Across envelope: Blackrock & R Back of envelope postmarked: 16 JU 66 Fenaghy Cullybackey Belfast Friday June 15th 1866 My dear Rowland I wrote you on Wednesday and yesterday morning yours to Willy Young was recd. [received?] and most truly do I trust Starkes' [opinion?] of the voyage will turn out as he expects and that you will come back a new man it is most gratifying his expression that your Lungs are so sound as his again having examined them and that your cough is better, Willy Young has written to you about the increase of [Belinda's?] money above the 2200 [220?] pounds and he thinks the difference is absolutely news, but as she no doubt has Emily [family?] intirely [entierly?] as her object in these matters, I see no differently in having two accounts opened with the Youngs, one for [---------s?] [emb----ing?] the 2200 pounds and the other placed to her own Credit agt. [against?] the Balance at [her?] debit now with the Youngs, which would leave a sum to her credit with them and there one could make up Whatever would be deficient in her income to support her houses #PAGE 2 having the power in our own hands to withdraw this sum at any time we thought proper as in [---'s?] case Willy went yesterday evening to Port- rush and comes up today by 1/2 past 1 oclock train and will not go there again till Monday. Dr. Kidd was out here yesterday to see me, he says he thinks I may discontinue the pautlice [poultice?], but that I must be most careful not to make much use of the foot or allow it to get any knock or injury for some time or it would bring on another attack for he cannot attribute the swelling to any other cause than a disposition to Gout. So I will be most careful, I told you about the $1000 Credit with Wm. [William?] Redmond for Robertson & Blacklock [Blackrock?] and now state particulars as I told them to Blacklock [Blackrock?], I sent out word some months ago for Robertson to draw $300 on Wm. [William?] R Robertson?] on my account whenever he liked, but he had not done so when I was in L'pool [Liverpool?], I then told Blacklock [Blackrock?] that when he went out to Charleston, I would increase the $300 to $1000, on his acct. [account?] & Robertsons, and that they could agree between themselves how the [they?] would draw it either one of them the whole $1000, and divide it or both draw sums amounting in all to the $1000, lent if Robertson had drawn the $300 before Blacklock [Blackrock?] went out then there would only remain 700$ to be drawn for either by one or both, I think I have made myself explicit in this matter and you can explain it to Wm. [William?] or attend to it yourself in New York if he comes over and you take charge of his business, [and he comes over?] [scored out] I will likely #PAGE 3 have a letter from you before you start and hope it will tell of [Emily?] being quite well and yourself continuing to improve and I like your other relatives & friends will be looking forward with much anxiety to the accounts we shall be hearing from you on & after your arrival in New York until we see you safe home again, Ever dear Rowland Your affectionate Brother W. L. Redmond Dont forget the Key of my Trunk. |
