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. The letter begins "Your niece Sally has made a conquest most desirable in the county of Tipperary". He goes on to describe how Sally met John Willington through John's uncle and aunt Mr. and Mrs. John Willington, John Willington's fortune and prospects and that Sally says he "is 41 years old, his character most amiable, his fortune a most rising one, his grounds in general represented the est in that county ... I have in this and in my long letter of yesterday tried your patience, but I hope you will forgive me, when you consider my daughter's happiness, I mean Sally's was in question and you'll allow to be interrupted by her sister's conduct would provoke a saint - indeed Eliza and my Anne conduct since their marriages is a good pattern for their sister to follow".
