Letter from Colonel Anthony Ormsby, eldest son to Thomas Ormsby of Ballinamore, Co. Mayo, from Bray, County Wicklow. "I put off writing to you this some time, expecting every day that my uncle would pay me the £170 you wrote to him to give me and which Adam told me he wrote you word he would pay me, but my waiting was perfectly useless, as there is no such thing as getting money from him of late. He is the most altered man I ever knew in money matters. The bills you sent me I will keep safe until they become due the 29th of Oct. and 10 Nov. I could not get one of them discounted as the acceptor is not much known as having a house, nor being a man [of] business and the Banks are very particular of late what bills they take on account of the number of failures. If you sell any cattle at Ball [Balla] I will be obliged to you if you will send me any bills you may get, as perhaps I might be able to get them discounted and in consequence of not getting money from my uncle I am in want of money at present. You ought to be cautious what bills you take now, if you don't get a good price for your cattle I will wait till Donnamona. I really think you ought to lose no time in writing to my uncle for your account, as he is now perfectly idle and when term begins in Nov. there will be no speaking to him, he will be so busy and I think it would be a great satisfaction to you to have your account settled, particularly since it is so long since you got it from him. It is perfectly useless for you to wait until Davy Ruttledge's law suit is over, as your account can just as easily be settled now as then and from every thing I can hear from both lawyers and attorneys it is very uncertain when it will be over. They may just as easily put it off next term, as they have done every term this past six years, particularly as the purchaser wishes it to be off, he will make every objection he can to the title. I hope please God to see you and my mother before the middle of October. Anne and Tom join me in Love and Duty, believe me your dutiful and loving son Anthony Ormsby".
