Scope and content

Letter from Owen Lloyd Ormsby, Ensign, Dover Castle, Kent, England, nephew to Adam Ormsby, 13 Charlemont St., Dublin, mainly concerning army and financial matters and that "... I have been waiting for our returns to come from Corfu, that I might mention what chance of promotion I have ... I think my money ought to be lodged ... as Anthony is coming into the army I think the best is for me to make over to his £160 which will just rig him out ... any other money that I may be entitled to I make over to my three sisters to be equally divided between them ... I now give you authority as you are executor to my late uncle Owen Phibbs of Merrion Square who was trustee to my late father Peter Ormsby's marriage settlement and that you will lodge for me at any place you wish, the sum of three hundred pounds sterling and that you will also lodge for my brother Anthony in the same place the sum of one hundred and sixty pounds sterling ... any other sum ... lodge, use of my three sisters ... it is nearly impossible to live on an ensign's pay ... this is a very extravagant place and we are going to give a Ball. I am sorry to say it will cost £3 or $4 each ... how are my poor sisters ... how is Uncle John, is he convalescent."
