Letter from Christopher Ormsby of Dublin to his brother Thomas Ormsby of Ballinamore, Co. Mayo, largely concerning business matters, court cases and family matters. He deals with financial arrangements with Mr. A Knox and Mr. Francis Knox, 1 Smock Alley and Mr. Walpole "a very proper man". Regarding family matters he states "John set off this morning for quarters, Kitt has got a little cold ... on receipt of your letter by John I gave Kitt ten pounds to bring to our most unfortunate sister, who refused it and said she did not want it. and enclosed a most curious note directed to Thomas, Adam (who she does not believe has died) and Christopher Ormsby, was left here on the same day .... it deprived me of 2 or 3 nights rest". He asks Thomas to put it in the fire once he has read it. He recounts various family members' visits to see his sister although he has not seen her for "2 or 3 years before I left Georges St."
