Scope and content

Letter from Christopher Ormsby of Dublin to his brother Thomas Ormsby of Ballinamore, Co. Mayo, largely concerning business, legal and family matters. He reports on his shopping around for wine on Thomas' behalf and that he eventually bought wine and sherry "which with the reins of a snaffle bridle I will give Laurence Moran, carrier, tomorrow ... it was with great difficulty the gates were got from Mr. Clarke ... there has been two letters from Eliza ... the Tunbridge waters has given Frank a great appetite, he eats 3 or 4 times a day and finds himself much better than he was in this city, but Eliza complains of being very nervous, the fright she got about Frank in this illness she has not recovered, little Tommy is thank God very well ... the additional taxes we feel here as well as you do in the country ... Frenches Taaffe Morris and Co. have advertised for the creditors to meet at 12 o'clock on Monday next ... Eliza ... mentioned having met Mr. and Mrs. Phibbs in London who were well and had set out that day for Cheltenham. Sally is at Lucan and goes with Mr. and Mrs. Willington to the county of Tipperary tomorrow for a few weeks."
