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. It largely concerns financial affairs with the Ruttledge family. Robert Ruttledge called to see him "which I considered very friendly" and that Robert Ruttledge got his decree against David Ruttledge for £5000 "on Saturday or Monday last". Mrs. Bermingham proceeded with her decree and Mr. Liversay her attorney has been giving him some advice. It has been suggested that that three or four of them join together to file one bill for the recovery of their legacies. It should not be difficult for David Ruttledge to raise the money to pay off all the charges on his estates "If he has a nearer relation or of a more friendly disposition than people in general say he is of, it can't be rec[k]oned a hostile proceeding against him, nor did the late Richard consider it so of Bob as we have all the same right to those legacies as David has to his estates"...
