| Transcript | My dear mother Johnston died yesterday without pain - Monday next will be the day of nomination in Omagh and I hope every thing will go off well. Sir James and Sir Andrew propose [?] 2nd May. I intend being in Dublin about Wednesday we sail on the 17th and I hope to be back into Caledon by the end of the 1st week in September which I suppose will be about your time they are very busy with the houses the dining room is ready. I do not think a breakfast would be of any use you must [devote?] 3 weeks a month to seeing people in the house although it will be a bore yet it must be done. [Eceles?] [Monterey?] [Vesey?] &c I think that it had better take place in September before the [pheasants?] are ready. You ought I think to have a billiard table it would be well worth the expense it would [save?] a world of trouble I expect Horton and Villiers at Omagh on Monday. Horton is on his way to the causeway and we [ere?] will return together. [Sir?] [James?] says [you?] ought to come back and ask people directly I do not at all think so it will have much more of the effect of electioneering than if it is done quietly about a month hence - I would merely ask the gentlemen and not descend very low, as that was a mistake that Ld [Lord?] [Abercorn?] fell into. I have taken the matter quietly, and do not say a word about the election, and am endeavouring I hope [to?] [get?] people to do the same. I spoke strongly about not having any tenants to ride in with, I think [stained] crowing the others can do no good. There is to be a grand dinner party at the Doctors tomorrow and I am going to dine with him. There has been an immense deal of rain here in the shape of thunderstorms. As [franking?] has come in I will write again soon Your affiate [affectionate?] son Alexander |
