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. In which he refers to the "prodigious deal of unnecessary trouble" which David Ruttledge has put Robert Ruttledge to. David Ruttledge's attorney was a Mr. Fowler and they acknowledge having paid "Mr. Blake his £100 and yet he [David Ruttledge] in giving every opposition ... who have as good a claim as Mr. Blake ..." He mentions a "Mr. Clarke of Westport, uncle to Mr. George Glendining who if living "would prove the handwriting of Mr. John Rogers, a witness to the will of Peter Ruttledge. "Newcomen Whitelaw who came to town to consult Surgeon Richards for the piles" has told him about 200 acres of meadow adjoining the Liffey which overflowed and covered the ground.
