I'm sorry to learn of the malancholy death of William Kennedy {see family Kennedy} however I am affraid Saint Andrews was not quite so agreeable to him and the [Flush?], I think its not very likely he gave all his money to the sailors If they expected to get ashore the Captain Certainly would have taken care of it, if not it would be little use to them, I received the bundle my mother sent me by Mr Gray they [the?] day after I wrote her letter they [the?] Cordoroy [corduroy?] lookes [looks?] very handsome but I'm affraid [afraid?] I have put her to too much expence [expense?] buying sutch [such?] a quantity of it theres none of them knows I have got it yet nor I dont Intend they shall until I get my summer clothes, then I'll get a pair made and they will suit me to were [wear?] of nights when I get done work they [the?] stockings lookes [looks?] very handsome more Particularly so When I recollect who Knit them you can let Alexander know that am very much obliged to him for buying me billy bluff as I have got great deal of amusement fron it since I got it, the h[ic?]hel tooth was just as soft as the rest however tell Robert Craney that I'm just as much oliged to him as if [It?] had answered they [the?] purpose, I hope my mother will give him something for it on my account as I expect he has need of something sometimes I believe Mr Bryson is going to send my aunt Mary all the [Wavelry?] Novels by the John Dickinson if he can get an Opportunity so you will have an opportunity of Reading them however I ratherly [rather?] believe you have read the most of them If I'm not mistaken I heard Mr Muchlen  read the [Antiguary?] in My Fathers Citchen [Kitchen?] one night, I remember one Passage in it about Old bucks sister sometimes they Called her Mary and sometimes Molly I think I heard something of the tales of my landlord and Jeremiah Cleisbottom and I'm shure [sure?] I heard my aunt Mary read a part of Guy mannering as for my own part I have Read Robroy, Wavelry, the [antiquary?], Guy Mannering the Tales of my landlord, the Monastery, the abbot being sequel to the Monastry [monastery?], I like Guy Manering better than any of the rest, I have read yet Indeed I have had more books this some-time past than I could get time to read when I got one into my hand, I wasent [was not?] content until I got through it so it sometimes happens the [they?] rob me of my sleep When I got my bundle from Mr Gray I called in to see how Mrs Martin was, she appears to have a good deal of work to do, she says she thinks she would rather live in Bangor if it answered as well it cant [cannot?] be Expected she will like the Race all at once Mr Paper is almost Done My Dear sister Give my affectionate love to my Father and Mother, Sisters and Brothers I remain My Dearest Sister your affectionate Brother

My Dear Sister
                 I received your leter [letter?] of the 5 april I feel a little surprised that the letters were so long before the [they?] Reached you I gave them to Mr Neil, he said he would Give them to you the first opportunity, I dont think he has acted altogether as he ought to have Done I intend sending them to the Care of My uncle David Kennedy after [?] Think that among Nancys [Caigs?] admires [admirers?] she might at least have got a smarter young fellow than Huey However money does a good Deal sometimes I Expect if John Kenedy [Kennedy?] or Samuel Wallace or Even Alexander Had had money Huey would have ben [been?] behind if she had sought the [Parish?]of Bangor she couldent [could not?] have found a slapie [sloppier?] looking fellow in my opinion I saw at William Wallace the other Day, I was telling him about Nancy he seemed to be highly amused with the story, He has been in the Country all Winter with his Brother, James, James has got maried [married?] to one Miss anthony, he has got a farm and is going on torerable [tolerably?] [well?] John Purse has got maried [married?] about two months ago he has got one Miss Degrove I believe she is pretty well of [off?] for money she is alowed [allowed?] to a handsome industrious woman I think shall make out very well I forgot to mention in my mothers letter that Mrs Bryson had got a young son, I havent heard what name they are going to give it yet indeed I havent seen it yet altho [although?] it is about 8 days.  I forgot to ask My mother whither [whether?] she couldent [could not?] get me any [M?]eckel tooth I want to get them steels to sharp the carving knifes [knives?] the men tells me that theirs [there's?] nothing in the world makes so good ones. I think she might Get some from Barney [r?]aney I have been speaking to the Captain of the John Dickenson he says he will take charge of them if you cant get any the coarse ones would be the best its just one year this day since I arrived in America, during that time I have Had as good health as could be expected I believe putting all together I havent [have not?] been sick more than a fortnight, During the time I was sick I couldent [could - not?] say [I?] was badly attended to whatever I asked for I always got. However I need not expect to have my mother to attend to me now the way I used to Idident [did not?] find the american winter so severe as I have heard the people say it was altho [although?] it was very cold, The [they?] asked [?] for some flannen [flannel?] shirts she said she would Get us some but we never heard any more about them the other apprentice had but one pair of flannen [flannel?] Drawers, as the [they?] must have a flannen [flannel?] peir Every week he though it would be just as Good to have [none?] as a pair every other week, so he threw them off and dident [didn't?] were [wear?] any, Alex Francis is in the City yet he Gets 10 to 11 shillings a day James Oliver is here woking in a garden William Wallace is working at Carpenter work I heard [Jenny?] Finlay was Dead and the baby, Give my love to my father and brothers and sisters.  I remain your affectionate brother

             New York sunday afternoon 16th Decr[December?] 1827

My Dear Mother I sit down to acknowlegde the receipt of your letters by the Atlantick [Atlantic?] - of the 7 inst, and am happy to hear you enjoy good health your letters arrived within a very little time of each other the carrick was scarcely gone before Mr Kennedy arrived with his letters, and two sovirigns [sovereigns?] from my Father - the shirts I did not receive until a few days afterwards, the ship got aground comming [coming?] up but was got off a few days afterwards with trifling injury the shirts fits me exactly and are a very valuable present they look so white it is d[?]t a pitty [pity?] to were [wear?] them in a [currying?] shop Linnen [linen?] don't retain its whiteness very long in this city the [they?] have no convenience for Bleaching they dry their clothes on lines in their yards commonly where the [they?] are subject to dust smoke &c, the watter [water?] that is used is commonly that which is caught in cisterns from off the H[?] and is not as good for washing a[s?] pure spring water, we took up our wooden cistern this fall and put down a Brick one which cost near sixty dollars and will contain about two thousand gallons of water I am glad that you were pleased with my conduct during my Apprenticeship and that the result thats been satisfactory I am rather at a loss to know what my uncle meant by writing you that I was out of my time at the 7 of July I recollect that he asked me some time about the 26th of july if I was not out of my apprenticeship in that month I told him not until the 26 of August the thing [rested?] here I have no idea that he will count my work back until the 17th of May or the 7 of july either when we settle which I suppose will not take place until I leave his employ My uncle received a letter yesterday from our friend Andrews of Meadville with two enclosed one for my sister Betty and another for Miss Williamson
of Ballyrobert which we will forward by the courier  My Uncle has procured the remainder of the waverly Novels for my Aunt Mary and intends sending them by the carrier liquis[ve?]se he bought the books in boards and got them bound.  I had the honour of shaving the leather and preparing it for the Binders tell my Father that I will precure his flaxseed as soon as possible my Uncle called upon Mr Agnew who is a Flaxseed Merchant and was informed that it was too early to get the long Island seed, it is commonly brought into market about the first of january, he promised to put up a good HogsHeadthe pure Long Island seed for us as soon as it could be had Mr Kennedy has been in our house frequently since his arrival and I think deserves the high character you give him, he stops at Nibloas Bank coffe [coffee?] House I recollect seeing him in my uncles in Newtownards about nine y[ears?] ago I would not have known him however without an introduction, 22nd Decr [December?] since writing the above I have the pleasure to inform you that my Uncle has procured a HogsHeadLong Island seed for my Father which is now on Board the ship courier in order to save my Father trouble and expence my uncle [?] has pro[?] on Mr Abraham B[e?]ll to include the seed with his own goods, by which means my Father will be
saved the trouble and expence of making an entry of it in the custom house of Belfast as one entry will answer for the whole I have just finished writing a few lines to my Father which my Uncle will take to Mr B[e?]lls office this morning who will write a few lines (in my letter) to his
partner in Belfast to deliver the seed, if the seed answers a good purpose you must give my Uncle all the credit as he took upon himself all the trouble of getting it I expect to write again soon meantime remember me to all my friends more particullary [particularly?] those of your own family, Do believe me to be your affectionate son

My Dear Mother
          I received your letter of 10th August a few weeks since, the letter you mention having sent me by Charleston I never received, I have
some reason to suspect although no positive proof that about the time that letter should have arrived in Newransville the Postmaster at that place for[warded?] [to?] me and by some rascal who never delivered it, - I was not aware of C H Brysons death until I received your letter nor of Andrews marriage, I was no way surprised at being informed of Cornelius's death although I have known nothing I may say of his [career?] for the last three years but previous to that I knew him very well, he enjoyed the advantage or disadvantage of having a wealthy Father and one of much political influence the consequence was that he did not feel dependant on his own exertions he had always a home, he claimed a good deal of respect from others more on acct [account?] of his Father than for any particular merit of his own, he was naturally possessed of more [than?] usually falls to the [lot?] of man but he was at first too indolent and afterwards I believe to [too?] careless and never took advantage of his position I have many a time went to his bedroom and made him get up at eleven o clock in the day to do some writing while he kept an attorneys office in Nassau street - he very early became a politician this led to much company and late hours, a continued repetition of which I suppose has been the cause of his early death, he was a Mischevious [mischievous?] brat when a boy as much so as any one I ever saw I had not been in New York many days before he christened me the Irish Pady [Paddy?] I trounced him three of four times soundly until his Father not liking the name interfered with us both I have now in the pool the first lot of Hides, so I may say I have began my New Tan yard at last and trouble enough it has cost me I got my [?] water light at last by ca[ul?]king and paying them with pitch - like a ships bottom now the [they?] dont Leak a drop.  I learned how to made the Tar then boiled the Tar in a large pot till it become pitch and smeared the seams with it, I had no oakum but found a good substitute in the fibrous stuff that grows on the [polmitte?], the [va?]ts now do very well the [they?] all are upon conductors which lead to a resinous in which will be a pump, but those are things which you do not understand I will only add that what I have done is done on the most labour saving plan, and the yard can be enlarged to any size, I have some Hides of my own, and some yet to collect I have also some to tan for other people for half and will have more on the same terms by and by, the present price of Dry Hides is 8 cents pr [per?] lb in summer the [they?] are less, 8 cents for prime dry Hides is a low price, the same article never cost me less than 12 in the north, I would not [?] for people even for half if I could stock my [vats?] on my own acct [account?], but it will pay pretty well, I do not curry the leather for them but give it them Tanned in the rough,
I have yet some buildings to put up but will defer all but a barn shed for the present it seems to be my fortune to no sooner work through one
piece of vexation than another immediately arises, or becoming a stale Govmt [government?] has caused the owners of this Land which I live on to have it surveyed and steps are now being taken to have it in markett [market?] for sale, some people think we will either have to buy it or rent next season, their [there?] are a great many owners to this tract of land, where their [there?] are so many interests to be consulted it is more than likely the [they?] will not all be satisfied with their portion, should some demur Litigation will follow, if so their [there?] will
neither be land bought nor rent to pay for some time to come, I wish more earnestly the [they?] would let me alone two or three years longer this land is surveyed in sections of one mile square containing 640 acres my section I suppose will sell high although their [there?] is not more than about 100 acres of very prime land on it and that is contained within the qr [quarter?] section (160 acres) which includes the Tan yard and Mail [seat?] the [they?] are alrady beginning to talk of moving the site of the Capital of the county at or near this place, Newransville is on one edge of the county, the court House is [wanted?] more central all those things combined make it evident that this land will sell high I do not think anyone will want my Tan yard but the [they?] may very likely want the qr [quarter?] section which it is on the yankee who lived with me when I wrote you last used my House and made a field of Cotton but only lived with me a little over four months he meddled with things that did not belong to him and I made him board elsewhere he built me a house and split Rails and done work of one kind and another to near the amount he owed me he made of 10 acres about 3000 lbs of cotton in seed which he sold at four cents pr [per?] lb making about $120 - less the expense of picking when this sea Island Cotton is in fine bloom and the bowls well opened one hand can pick from 50 to 60 lbs pr [per?] day but in the beginning and latter part of the season about 30 lbs is as much as most of them do gathering this crop you perceive is much more difficult than making it, this yankee wants to make Cotton [?] on one of my fields, I will porbably make a [?] with him for I have more land than I can [?] he d[?] not make a good crop the land ought [?] brought 500 lbs to the acre, I planted myself 10 [?] acres of land in corn and made 150 Bushels, I had some to but last years this I think I have enough should the rail road ever be made it will of course raise the value of land wherever it goes through, but it cannot be made yet for years, while we were a Territory congress ordered a survey for a route, but their action on the matter on their part rested the [they?] do not make internal improvements and [S?]outhern statesm[e?]n maintaining it unconstitutional to do so, if ever made it will have to be done by the state and for sometime to come her citizens have more important matters to mind - I got the six [Cows &?] Calves last spring I wrote you of, not having any one to attend to them I gave them to a widow woman - to milk all summer.  I will not sell those Cattle if I can help it, in a few years the [they?] will be of much benefit, I gave an indifferent one eyed grey mare for them.  I have also aloud [allowed?] fifty HeadHogs the [they?] will not stay at home but ranged on a large Parerie [prairie?] three miles away this Parerie [prairie?] is from two to four miles wide and about thirty in circumference it is a fine place for Cattle and hogs I wrote the most of this letter two weeks ago, as I am going tomorrow to-day [today?] I will finish it.  I will send you an old newspaper along with it a few Cotton seeds sister Jenny ceased to be fond of flowers, if she will plant those seeds in good ground Early the [they?] will grow till frost and maybe to you a curiosity I sent a few to John murdock the [they?] grew on some corn hills before my [door?].  I wrote Jane soon after receiving your letter she never amswered my previous letter.  I am affraid [afraid?] she has never forgave me for [jesting?] about her children, if you have no use for the money you mention I will accept it, although I would rather Borrow a larger sum if I could, but here we have no Banks and I can not do so it would be folly to deny that I do want money for I do want much and from the nature of my bussiness [business?] I expect to be in want of money much for some years to come but under all the crosses and dissapointments [disapointments?] I have met with I have been and am still of opinion that I will yet make a fortune in this country at my business it cannot help paying well when property underweigh I will make handsome leather and ship it to New York and have it sold by the quantity almost every other Tanner on this side of washington has got Rich, my turn must come next, if I do not spend this mony [money?] for land I will buy Hides with it, it will fill one [va?]t let Brother James manage it as he did before let him get a check [cheque?] from a Banker and send it to Peter Bryson with a request to Peter to advise me on its Receipt in N Y [New York?] my dear mother I must close this long letter I have 30 miles to ride to-day and some offaces [offices?] to attend to - give my affectionate love to all the family your affectionate son

                Gainsville Florida 19th November 1857

my Dear Mother I have been in receipt of your very kind letter - sometime, it is I think almost one year since I wrote last,  this has been one way and another a busy year for me, I have had to study some, and make myself familiar with matters altogether New I have not heard from P.M. Bryson since your letter, I suppose however he is in New york long before this time, the New York  Banks - indeed Nearly all the Banks in the country are now paying the usual penalty of overtrading, they have ceased to redeem their bills with specie, three Banks in the city of Charleston south Carrolina continue to redeem their Notes with gold and silver, all others that I have heard from have suspended, those revolutions in the commercial world have taken place before, and from the very nature of things commercialy speaking will take place again - this bubble would have burst long ago but california gold and other fortuitous circumstances kept it off till lately the south did not overtrade, they are an agricultural people on an immence scale, their staples commanded fine prices in the markets of the world, they were very prosperous, till a panick seized upon the northern mind and made their Banks cease paying specie, the southern Banks, from the nature of their business connections with the north, had to adopt the same course of this state of things continues two or three years property of all kinds will fall down to its proper value if P.M. Bryson was in Europe when the New york Banks stopped payment (that is the true word) he would hardly make time I think to pay his friends in Ireland another three days visit - the bank suspension in 1837, embarrased our general government a good deal, measures were taken soon afterwards to prevent a similar occurance hereafter, the "Independant  sub Treasury was established" all duties have to be paid in gold and silver this money is carefuly kept by Government offices subject only to the drafts of the secretary of the Treasury this law was [roiled?], and sneered at by the whigs at the time, but it has worked so well, that all opposition has long since died away

I am affraid [afraid?] my mother that the income tax you complained of sometime ago will become an institution with your government, if our
newspaper accounts can be relied on, I should think that England must spend many millions of Treasure and sacrifice thousands of men before she can restore peace and quietness to her East india possessions this derangement in the money affairs of our country as I think pressing upon the managers of our rail Road, the work is still going on, the track is graded and ready for the iron to within a short distance of this place, I have seen more Irishmen lately than in many years, there is a company of about one hundred and twenty working close[b?]y.  the prices of Beef Cattle mentioned in your letter is enormous, at those rates poor people can eat but very little meat, in my stock I have I think about fifteen or sixteen four year old steers, quite fat, and what we call good Beef, when dressed they will weigh probably 400 lbs a head the price paid for such cattle in this place is only twelve dollars a piece - I have, or ought to have in the range, 250 Headcattle of all sizes, if they were sold at Belfast prices the amount would be very considerable, there is still a band of seminole indians in the south part of
the state, two regiments of mounted militia have been sent down to the "[N?]ation" but have not this far been able to bring the indians into a
general fight, this county furnished about 100 young men, I receive letters from their headquarters every week or two, the writer represents
the country as being very low and in every respect very poor, when I was in south florida in 1838, I had no opportunity of seeing much of the
country, being at military posts all the time, in the event of the indians being sent off I intend to visit it again, we had a very wet summer, and
expected much sickness this fall and winter but have been agreeably dissapointed [disapointed?] the country has continued more healthy than usual our crops of corn have been very good but the cotton is what the Planters call short - I recollect the Robert Gelston you mentioned in your letter very well, he was I think the oldest son of old Mrs Gelston, he had a fight with Robert Moffet at a fair in Newtownards, which was talking about a good deal, at the time, I was a very small boy then Sister Betty wrote me a letter about the time he was married, if I recollect right his wife was rich, rather old, and addicted to some of those habits that old Father Mathew used to preach against, she enclosed to me a marriage song made by Aunt Mary to suit the occasion - I thought at the time if they could do no better in the way of making poetery [poetry?] than the sample sent to me, she ought to leave it alone for the future - it was miserable do [?]  my mother you seem to think, your son James, is blessed with a happy disposition like his Father he always looks at the sunny side, "Alexander it seems is less so" "myself you know nothing about in that way" I will, in regrad to myself as one of your duplicates - I must confess that I am not very patient when things go wrong I scold [some?] and swear a good deal, and "try again" your two sons at home have lived a quiet Cosy life - when compared to mine, I was thrown upon my own resources at a very early period of life, I was among relations but found little friendship and no sympathy their [there?] if my Temper which was never very good got soured and rather quick it had caused enough to be so, but I quite agree with you that it is a great blessing for a man to be possessed of a quiet easy dispostion, people say that the leading tracts of a mans character is always inherited from his mother, this docterine [doctrine?] can not be true, if it was so your sons would not differ in dispostion so widely - I must now my dear Mother relate an affair that took place which will I suppose surprise you a little /on the /8th/ eigh[th?] day of July A D. 1857 at Eleven o clock A.M your promising Batchelor [bachelor?] son Andrew Robb was married to Mrs Martha Turner, widow of Henry B. Turner deceased, I dont think it necessary to enter into lengthy descriptions of this marriage affair, it was not done in the New york fashionable style - but in a plain and rather primitative manner, but as the same time a great superabundance of the good things of life graced the occasion, my wife was born in the states of Georgia, I have known her ten years she is the mother of some children
& rather inclined to be fleshy, is about 39 years of age toreably good looking & owns in her own right some property, worth perhaps 8 or nine
thousand Dollars - so, now I have told you that I am married and I am glad that it is commited [committed?] to paper - I would rather write a
dozen pages on any other matter, I am indebted, two letters Ellen Murdock and will write to her soon my paper is nearly done I remain as ever your affectionate son
