| Transcript | Dear Matty New York 18 Feby [February?] 90 [1790?] I wrote you a few lines the 15 Inst by Capt Mc M. [McMeakin?] and as I find Capt Chivers [Cheevers?] who I sent the Hams by was to sail from Dublin in all Dec. for this hope you have sent Mr Waltons Shirts by [him?] & that you rec.d [received?] the Hams I have now to answer yours of the 24 Nov.r its [luckily?] you reminded Mr Morris of the [cabinet?] as the Ladies are much pleased with it, I only wish you not to let the Tennants run too much in arrearres [arrears?] it is not serving them, they have Shipd [Shipped?] off so much Wheat & flower [flour?] from this Country that its feard [feared?] they will be wanted here before long, being using fast. I have a little touch of your Complaint in my Shoulder but its going away I should think Jno [John?] Hamiltons Father was able to give him a good Fortune, exclusion of what he had with him. Sam [Hyde?] has always been prudent but I wonder he did not buy his Fathers in Laws Estate, for he Certainly is very [Wealthy?], such a Place woud [would?] not [answer?] Mr [Mateer?]. It appears to me there will be a warm Contest for [both?] Down & Antrim. Lord Donegal ought to have a great Interest in the later, I am realy [really?] Glad Lord Mazerine is got home, he must have been in a dreadfull [dreadful?] Situation for many years The French King has brought much trouble on himself & the Emperor seems to be geting [getting?] into the [like?] very fast, I wish Great Britain & Ireland to [keep?] out of their Quarrels, none woud [would?] help them the last War, Tho [Though?] I have made every inquery [inquiry?] about Alexr [Alexander?] Montgomery can get no intelligence of him, [Mr?] Gaine who came here that Agus [August?] cant remember any thing of him & he is one of the oldest Emigrants from Belfast I know the St James is Loading for there but dont know when she will sail, I am preparing my [Antha?] as much as possible & shall soon write you again [Loving?] & [c-?] &c [that?] Dr srs [dear?] [sisters?] HY [Hamilton Young?] Capt Hayes Capt Hudson |
