| Transcript | To Mr David Bryson Currier [courier?] No. 48 Frankfort Street New york Ballysalagh [Ballylsallagh?] March 22 1806 My Dear Brother I am set Down in Dans name to thank you for the very handsome present you were so kind as to send us and to tell you that it is arrived safe and in good order. I expected from the change in men and measure in the British Government to have it in my power in this letter to congratulate you on the liberty of returning to your native country had you been so disposed report indeed says that it is actually agreed to but there is yet no official account of it the state prisoners however in Dublin are liberated without any security of any kind and I think there is every reason to hope the other measure will follow and tho [though?] perhaps for the present this may be no object to you it will undoubtedly be extremely welcome to many of our exiled country men Lord Londonderry and his [Melities?] are I believe at present nearly as much out of power as the Brysons were three weeks after the Rebellion with the death of Mr Bett and the consequent change of Administration you are I think better acquainted than I am it is said that before the present Ministry took thier [their?] places they came under a promise not to press the catholick [Catholic?] question our last paper however informs us that there has been a Meeting of the catholics to review thier [their?] petition but not agreeing as to the move of it they resloved to adjourn for a month this Business may perhaps miss our present sunshine in the land - the same papers also informed us that the American seamen are imediately [immediately?] to be discharged from our Navy so that I think all apprehensions of a war is at an end - - - My Mother was here one this week and was fully determined to apply to Lady Hillsborough for Protections for my father and you and a discharge for Andw [Andrew?] and I think every thing considered there is every probabilty that she will succeed the very great en[m?]ity between the houses of Hillsborough and Londonderry I look upon as one step towards it it has always been my opinion that in such a case my Father would come home and I would be glad to know your mind on the subject an many respects Nt ards [Newtownards?] is I think by no means a proper place for him to live in and no part of the land is out of lease for a considerable time to come so that some other mode must be struck out but I only waste paper on a subject which perhaps only origanates [originates?] in my own [Brain?] in my last to Eliza informed her of a proposal [?] [to?] Wm [William?] gray for renewing his Lease neither my [?] nor Dan being very well pleased with it they agreed to tell him that they had received a letter from America forbiding [forbiddiong?] them to renew any more Leases I must therefore beg of my father to coroberate [corroborate?] this when he writes - when you write to Andw [Andrew?] tell him that I will write him by the next vessel but at present it is out of my mean time you will be kind enough to give my compliments to my father Eliza and him and believe me to be your Affectionate sister Nelly Robb |
