Scope and content
Letter from Peter Ormsby, son, to Thomas Ormsby of Ballinamore, Co. Mayo. From Dolphin Inn, Southampton, [England] in which he describes his pleasure on hearing "... that the rebels have been everywhere so completely conquered ... it was a great satisfaction to see the Province of Connaught so undisturbed during this dreadful business ... The French fleet are at sea, but where their destination is seems unknown. ... we are to be encamped at Windsor the 24th instant" with various other regiments "entirely for the amusement of his Majesty". He asks his father for £50 "as the very expensive manner [I] have been necessitated to live here this time past has far exceeded my pay".
