| Transcript | Dear Matty, New York 6 Aug' 1788 Annexed is copy of what I wrote you by Capt. [Pugsly?] who sailed 3d [inst?]: I have now to answer your favr [favor?] of the 29 April. I thank God my Health at present is pretty good tho [though?] not quite free of the complaint I mentioned. I do not make myself uneasy, at least as little as possible. My chief concern is to get home. I sent Mr Morris a letter to my friends in London when I sent him the [power?] against [Feltham?] they will do what they can in it. He is a single man. I had good Connections if he had not forfeited them, I have never heard from him since he left Irnd. [Ireland?] [Hoop?] is I think from the good [bargins?] bargains that [Tennants?] have they shoud [should?] be punctual with you. I observe what you say of Mr Crawfd [Crawford?]; the trial of Mr Hastings has opend [opened?] Peoples Eyes much with regard to the conduct of [Mr.?] [Brill?]. In the East, Lord Cornwallis I believe is a good Man & will act Right. I think Sally Wills [seware?] she has been so long with them people had best remain provided its agreeable to her. Mrs Collins was a very genteel woman & has lived to a great age. I am glad James Hamilton has got so good an addition to his Fortune where does he live now. [Val?] Jones was no [prelation?], as to the Clergy they generaly [generally?] get their Share. Did you see James Hamilton after he went from hence I suppose you got proper instructions from Mr Isaac relative Wm [William?] [Clarks?] [discharge?] I wrote you already about Mr James Mitchell's sister, youl [you will?] see its not right to pay with orders. I wish Lord Donegal woud [would?] take up his residence among you. It might be of great use, its a fortunate [Match?] I shoud [should?] think for the Lady. There has many (sic) [vessels?] arrived here from [Newry?] & Dublin by whom I wish you had sent the Magazines they are to oblige People who use [me?] [with?] great [Politeness?] as well as for my own perusual. There will be a ship [coming?] from Dublin about the time this [reaches?] you. Get them sent from [&?] [Jany?] last. In order to give you a proper Idea of the [Peoples?] beheavor [behaviour?] with you enclosed is Copy of [their?] letter to Mr Sadler of the 6 May last any remarks thereon the later for your own satisfaction, as its [needless?] to write to them. The State of the Effects of the House is tricky as I mention- There was 992.11.7 [firstly?] worth of wine & Rugs taken by the American troops which hoped to get paid for but shant [shall?] [not?] now receive a penny which Mr Sadler [knowing?] from their present Conduct how fortunate it was you witheld your [power?] of Atty [Attorney?] from them. I shall soon write you again. I am with Love to you & Sisters [&c?] [Pacquet?] Belfast Dr [Dear?] My [Matty?] Via Cork [Nelson?] H.Y. [Hamilton?] [Young?] |
