| Transcript | To:- Mrs [Caroline] Williamson Rockmacraney [Rockmacreeny?], [County Armagh?] Dear Caroline I received yours of the 31st ult[imate?] per McWalker & it gives me the greatest pleasure to learn from the contents that you & all the rest of the Family are well - I should begin by making an apology for not writing sooner but I have so little spare time that when I could sent a letter by hand the opportunity would be gone before I would have le[i?]sure to have it wrote - I congratulate you in the additional happiness you must derive in your having got a daughter to supply the place of Miss W[illiia?]mson who I understand is on the eve of changing her name. I think she is perfectly in the right as according to the old adage "a good thing can -not be done too soon" - any thing that can conduce towards her happiness must be a source of gratification to me & I sincerely hope she may enjoy all the felicity in the connubial state which she deserves - & if the Big pot (which Mr W[illia?]mson had such a wish for) is not already won I hope she may yet have it to grace her kitchen corner at the Poke mill - I have little prospect at present of seeing any of you for sometime longer - as it would be an impossibility for me to leave this, there being no person in the warehouse but myself - Robert (who takes this) has been here for the last week getting some accounts settled - he was present at Miss Poolers wed[d?]ing the day or two before he left the country - I understand by him that Sally is one of the party that accomp[ani?]es her to Dundalk. Th[oma?]s Pooler left this for Dundalk the day before they could arrive there so that you see no distance will seperate [separate?] lovers - I think it rather odd that she should go there in place of Fra[nce?]s a [Hammite?] & its my opinion that it must have been a preconcerted scheme between he & his sister - I'm sure my Mother must have been ignorant of Mr P being at Dundalk or she would never have let Sally go there I would suppose that the shorter time she stops there so much the better There is little news here except what you are acquainted with the times are still bad & little prospect of their mending - I have got a s[light?] cold from the clothes being kicked off me by [a?] restless bedfellow tell Miss W that I hope she wont experience the same inconvenience & that the next time I have the pleasure of seeing her I expect she will have one on her kne[e?] & two in her arms - I expect to hear from you as soon as possible & I will promise to be more punctual in replying than formerly Remember me to y[ou?]r Father W[illia?]mson & Miss W & all the family & Believe me D[ea?]r Caroline y[ou?]r aff[ectionate?] W [Rolbes?] take care this is not seen |
