| Transcript | W. J. C. Allen Esq Ulster Bank Belfast Augusta Ga [Georgia?] 23 Jany [January?] 1873 My Dear Friend I received yesterday your favour of the 4th inst with statement of my a/c [account?] up to the 1st inst. showing a balance in my favour of œ19-0-1 Nineteen Pounds and one penny Stg [Sterling?] I have had great pleasure in delivering Mrs Allen's kind remembrance to Mrs Smith, Mrs Sibley & Miss Longstreet. The two latter are now with me, Mrs Smith in better health than she was twelve months ago. Miss Longstreet is complaining today - I hope temporarily. My own health has not been good but the decline has not been more than might be expected from age. I was pleased to hear from Mr Thos. [Thomas?] Caskey of the comfortable situation of yourself and family, and especially gratified in the prospects of your son. I will thank you for the papers you mention respecting his examination as it would be interesting to compare with that of Sibley Campbell the son of my nephew Robert who graduated two summers ago at Athens College. He and another took the first honour. It was divided. He has since graduated in the Medical College here and joind his uncle H. F. Campbell in practice who stands very high both as Physician and Surgeon. On enquiry I find that the Executors of your cousin H.C. Bryson are his son William Bryson, James G. Bailie, a merchant of this place, and J. E. Harper a lawyer & son of William Harper Decd [deceased?]. I think the latter has not qualified. J & J Stuart & Co. of New York City advise me on the 20th inst that they have issued their draft on the Ulster Bank Belfast Ireland No. 6160 for œ89-18-2 Eighty nine Pounds eighteen and Two pence which they promise to send you next mail on my account. I suppose apyable on sight but they do not say so. I would like it to be distributed as follows - For Lucinda Carroll œ30.00.0 Margaret M'Whinney [McWhinney?] 30.00.0 Grey (sic)M'Whinney [McWhinney?] 20.00.0 James B McVea 10.00.0 Saml. McVea 5.00.0 -------- œ95.00.0 This will require you to take something from the balance of the a/c [account?]. For convenience to you the Five pounds may be paid to James B. McVea, for him to send to his brother Samuel, Nottingham England. With kind regards to Mrs Allen and the family I am always Truly yours R. [Robert?] Campbell |
