| Transcript | Greenwood, Strandtown, Belfast Sept 22nd, '75 Dear Cousin Margaretta I have been long in answering your welcome letter & thanking you for the nice photo of yourself, for which I am very much obliged. I am very glad to have it amongst the members of my relations & friends that I have in my album. I am sorry to hear of your Mother [Prudence Sinton/O'Brien née Kelley] having been so very ill, but trust she is better long before this & restored to her usual health & strength. I hope Aunt Anne is finely. I should like greatly to have a likeness of her. Henrietta had a letter from her Uncle William Sinton (written by his daughter) who lives in Louisville: he wishes to get Aunt Ann's address & Henrietta intends sending it to him. We are at the sea side but hope soon to be returning home. We have greatly benefited by being here, Ballyholme [near Bangor, Co. Down] is me name of the place and bay. Since writing the foregoing I have received your Mothers kind letter & I am glad to hear she is better, but her illness must have been a very trying one. I hope, if the Lord will, that she may be fully restored to health and strength. We have returned home again owing to the time of year: the weather would soon be too cold to stay at Tell your mother with my love that I know it is trying to anyone in delicate health to have to write, & I quite excuse her or any of my cousins not having written & I hope she will not feel that she must write to me. It will be a pleasure to me to write sometimes to Aunt Anne of whom I will always be glad to hear. I hope you will write again when you have rime, if it is no trouble. With love to Aunt Anne, also your Mother, not forgetting yourself Your affectionate cousin M. Greeves Miss Margaretta Sinton Ithaca, Tomkins Co., New York |
