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. Some business matters and much about his family "Jenny and Anne Ransford leave town on Wednesday with Mr. Finn for Ashford where they can only remain 6 or 7 weeks as Anne ... expects the latter end of July or beginning of August to be confined". He is very concerned for his daughter Sally and her husband John Willington who have been threatened by "rebels" who have "sounded horns at the end of Mr. Willington's Avenue". John Willington was a Captain Carden of the Templemore yeomanry "received several anonymous letters that they were marked men on account of being the most active magistrates in that quarter". John Willington is to bring his wife to Dublin for safety and then return to protect his property. "I am now just twelve years here, ten years I have been endeavouring to remove to Hollybrook or to a house near this city for the benefit of country air and exercise but Jenny has given me every opposition, it was she by repeated letters to Jane that put her on the plan of coming to live in town ... Jenny has [sold] her carriage and houses I think very well for about £215 ,,, the house tax ... will make many people learn to walk that could not bear to dirty their feet before ... I bought a very nice mare 6 years old that draws the car or 25 guineas which will at any time bring a profit ... "
