Scope and content

Letter from Christopher Ormsby of Dublin to his brother Thomas Ormsby of Ballinamore, Co. Mayo, largely concerning business matters, court cases and family matters. In which he is very critical of his son-in-law Tom Ruttledge for not agreeing to his proposal relating to the legacies left to T. Ruttledge's wife Jane by her aunt [Elizabeth Ruttledge] and uncle [Richard Ruttledge]. The proposal was to pay Tom Ruttledge a quarter share of the legacy and the remaining three quarters to be put in hands of trustees Thomas Ormsby and his two sons Thomas and George. The interest to be paid out for the support of Tom Ruttledge and his family. Mr. Ransford has agreed to this of "his own accord" regarding his wife's share. He wants Jane's jointure of £150 secured by inclusion in some leases. "The thought of my dearest Jane's distracts me and makes me not know what I am doing". He concludes by saying that Mr. Randford and Anne are staying with them as their house is being renovated. The letter ends, "Burn this".
