| Transcript | BELFAST. 3rd Feb. 1838 My Dear Mr McNeilly, My sister and I are very much obliged to you for your kind present. My Aunt Nancy drank tea with us on Friday evening and afterwards went with us to the Natural History Society of which I am a member. Mr Steen read the paper on the Steam Engine. There was an exhibition, at the Gymnasium on Wednesday evening and my Mother and Sister and I went. My Mother asked my Aunt Nancy to go but she was engaged. We visited the Belfast Museum in the Christmas vacation which we were much pleased with. I was very much obliged to you for your letter dated 4th January which I got by chance. I was sorry to hear that you were so poorly, but I hope I shall soon hear that you are better. Please give my love to Mrs McNeilly and Miss Waddell and to Mr James when you write, and believe me. My Dear Sir, Yours with sincere affection. (signed) William Wightman. |
