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 thanks Thomas for his letter and expresses his relief on hearing of Christopher's [his son's] illness and refers to Jane's care for her brother. "... on the other hand your letter distressed me much that Christopher or his sister Jane on his behalf should be so troublesome to you as to request you to write to me to make a settlement on him and particularly circumstanced as I am, with two very large houses on hands" He goes on to detail his circumstances and moan about Christopher and Jenny's lack of consideration. Christopher "without leave or licence keeping the stable with sick horses in a dirty state, continually quacking them and swapping his horses, buying and selling like a jockey ... nor did he condescend to let me know of his intention of going to England until Oct. 1816 ... what is to be expected from the next generation when young people advanced in years which ought to make them be more particular in their conduct than to demand as a right part of their father's dearly earned property ...".
