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 writes that he has received payment on Owen's promissory note. His daughter Sally has had a heavy cold and before her marriage scraped her shin, the wound festered so he "called in Owen Lindsey and Surgeon Peile". He recounts an incident on a slippery road at Westmoreland Bridge when Mr. and Mrs. Jonathon Willington were on the way to catch the "two day coach to Nenagh". They were in Jenny's carriage when the incident occurred and had to walk to the Hibernian Hotel in Dawson Street. Referring to his son in law John Willington he says "Mr. Willington improves much on an acquaintance, is of mild and gentle manners ... and dislikes going into debt, hunts once or twice a week ... is fond of home and early hours and improving his demesne, so that Sally has every prospect of Happiness and of being comfortably settled ..."
