| Transcript | Milford Co Donegal Ireland. 13th April 1892. My dear Robert I received your two letters all right, one came yesterday, to-day I have also received a letter from Alice Simpson saying that you had been on twice and that everything is all right she has sold the house and got paid for it, she sent me a hundred dollars and banked the balance with Drexel the Bankers, until She or I put it out at interest. She may be able to invest some of it in ground rent and I may be able to lend some of it safely here. I will write and let you know how it will be invested. But I will have to live very economically now until I find a profitable use for the money, as they gain little or no interest at the Bank. I would have no trouble in finding lots of people about Milford who would willingly take the loan of money, but I will take good care that any one to whom I lend I will have it so fixed that I can make them pay me back. You will have heard of the death of Lord Leitrim It will be a great loss to Milford as he was going to improve it greatly. I went down to the funeral which was a very large one being attended by nearly all the tenantry. We had lovely weather here a few weeks ago and I had nearly all my seeds sown in the garden but for the past few days we have had frost and snow, however the Sun is getting stronger and I hope we will soon have pleasant weather. I do not hear of any news in town, indeed I don't gossip much as I spend most of my time in the field or in the garden or about the yard, and I find plenty to do. My father keeps very well, he and Miss Gilliland desire to be remembered. Your Affectionate Brother James Buchanan I will write again soon. |
