Letter from Edwin Stock, 9 St James St., Bath, to Harry Stock, complaining that Captain Jackson wants him to pay the taxes of Belleek even though he only lived there for eight months.

He needs £200 for George's Joynt. He asks how Lydia's Marriage went, and hopes that his father benefits from his bright prospect 'at the Castle'. He hopes to return to Ireland around 1 April next year. He has given a Mr. Jolliffe a nomination to the curacy of Crossmolina. Louisa sends her love. Includes a note by Henry F.
