Letter from William Ellison to Thomas Ormsby of Ballinamore, Co. Mayo, late 1700s. He begins the letter "Hunger it is sayed will break thro' stone walls, why not overcome shame, that is now my case ..." He is in extreme destitution and had to "by my own imprudence ... to sell Rockland, the only stake I had for my unfortunate children. They and I now have no other prospect but starvation from which beggary in this time of general distress cannot save us ... in view of a disconsolate infirm wife and five helpless children, they and I nearly half naked and half starved, once more compels me to solicit your assistance ... All the property I have now left is about seventy pounds a year ..." In a note at the end he requests £2 by the bearer "to keep me alive as I am destitute of the most common necessities for that end, it will not only an obligation but a real charity".
