| Transcript | San Francisco 5th March 1875 Dear William Your long expected letter to hand, and am glad to learn by it that you are all well I think it strange, you do not write more frequently, certainly some member of the family might do so, I would also suggest when you do write, that you would read over the letters you receive so as to be able to answer topics refered [referred?] to I am not aware of you answering a single question put to you, in my last letter but one, and which I know you received, as to the inclinations of the Children as to any particular calling or as to their advancement in learning. You pass them all over in a lump, as if their present or future, could be of no interest to me, I have, repeatedly asked for information, as to what acct [account?] of education the Children has received & how engaged, but no reply. I do hope for their future welfare that proper attention is being paid them, You have only to look back upon the past & see the advantage of knowledge over even money with ignorance, I Enclose Draft for 101 pounds, the amount of your annual legacy left to you by our kind brother, you will sign the enclosed receipt & return it. I also, enclose Draft for 50.00 pounds which is Sent you not as a loan, but that though you may require to apply it for another purpose in meantime, it shall be expended in the improvement of the Childn [Children?]. I would have sent you more only that at present we require all the capital possible in our large provision business &c I will however, before end of the year, send you a little more for a similar purpose, I have forwarded you a Bust of Dear Thomas by Mr H Lowry of the ship "Star of B[en?]gal" who sailed from here for Liverpool, yesterday. He should reach his destination about middle of June, from him, I have learned a good deal of Killyleagh news Louisa & children are all well, The children are growing very fast, Willie & Mary Can both read & write very well for little ones - Willie will write you soon, & Louisa will forward their Photographs, taken in a group, soon. She would have done so by Mr Lowry only that Mary was [unwell?] for a few days & not looking sufficiently [well?] to have [hers?] taken Does Thomas know that his uncle left him anything, if he does not, it might be as well for him to remain in ignorance of it not being payable till after your death, and as I trust such an event is far distant & if so he will be well off - if not made know to him I would not mention it. You do not mention E[liza?] or Jane or her f[amily?], I do not hear so frequently [that?] you should neglect refering [referring?] to them when you do write - You should have received the case of Alfalfa & seed wheat before this reaches you. I hope the Alfalfa seed will [grow?] if so, it will [give an memento?] |
