Scope and content

Letter from Charles Phibbs, Sligo, brother-in-law to Adam Ormsby, 13 Charlemont St., Dublin, in which he thanks Adam for his letter and the debenture "which I have the gratification of handing my daughter". He goes on to explain that he was "from home" when the packet containing the letter dated 9th October and the debenture arrived "but it's not being handed to me till this morning, tho' at home this fortnight past, I can not account for". He thanks Adam for "your kind attention to me in this late affair and also in other matters". Includes a postscript in which he sends good wishes to various members of the family and "your brother John left this for Lakeland, accompanied by my son Harloe last Friday". In a further explanation it is apparent that his wife Sally had carefully put the package away for safekeeping and she wants her husband to apologise on her behalf and in a last note he asks Adam to keep this letter "as I have a particular wish to have this letter kept for me to have to show to Sally and Mary ..." Includes a reference to her nephew William Phibbs.
