| Transcript | Dear Matty, New York 3rd [Sept?] 1788 I wrote you the 6 Aug' & [copy?] by way of Cork & am now favord [favoured?] with yours 27 May & 24 June & from what I have wrote you & the difficulty in Settling and so little prospect of geting [getting?] from hence before Spring. Tho' you & Sisters may depend I am doing every thing I can therein. Mr Waddell has not furnished those objections yet which don't surprise me I think you was right mentioning what you did to Mr Morris, also in [taking?] the Mortgage you mention & shoud [should?] the [Lot?] be sold purchase it if any way reasonable. Mr Gordon was the cause of its being taken from us. Do such affairs as is necessary to the House untill [until?] I get home. I often wonderd [wondered?] how your neighbour [made?] [out?] from the little Business he did. I suppose Davy lived with them. I am glad to hear there is a prospect of good crops. We have had very bad weather along this coast & the Wetest [wettest?] summer I ever see [here?]. Its a great loss to [the?] [town?] such a man as Mr Wilson, but its very dangerous for for (sic) people to goe [go?] too exclusive into Trade. I shoud [should?] think the [sum?] [you?] [mention?] necessary for such an undertaking. You remember Bob Wilson. His father speculated too far. I have been obliged to [get?] [Impldar?] & Stuarts Bond [in?] [suit?]. I think it is [service?] in the end. The ladies that sent you the Peppers & Peaches last year are making up some [now?] for you least there will be a great Scarcity of Aples [apples?]. But you and Mrs [Isaac?] shall have a barel [barrell?] of the best each. youl [you?] [will?] please to acquaint him that McCormick has left this place without ever calling on me & that I find the Girl left them before their departure & is now not this [City?] shoud [should?] I find her I cant not without a power. in hopes of soon being able to write you further I am [&c?] [&c?] H.Y. [Hamilton?] [Young?] Belfast [&c?] Via Dublin. Sadler |
