page for other letters}
My Dearest Sister,
I received your letter by the John Dickinson Dated October
21st which brought me the ever happy entiligence [intelligence?] of your being in good
health, I'm glad to hear that Lord [dufferin?] has Reduced my Fathers Rent However I think
it was last wish to do so, if he thought there were any Possibility of making them pay the
old rent he has proved himself to be a tyrant long [ago?] its best to keep out of his
hands its almost as bad to live under the like of him as working for nothing and finding
ones self I have had frequently letters from Daniel Andrews with letters
inclosed [enclosed?] for Ireland all which I forwarded the first opportunity he says my Aunt
Williamson Continues in bad health and almost always confined to her room in one
of the letters she wished me to send what letters I got from Ireland for her personal
[personally?] I only sent her one yet that was the last one I got from My sister Betty
these last ones related a good deal to Family affairs so I thought they wouldent [would
not?] be very Enteresting [Interesting?] to her, I think some of you ought to write to her
oftener than you do, as she is fond of any thats new one of Daniel Andrewses little Boys
lives altogether With her.
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
Andrew Robb
Robb,
Jenny - 17th. May 1826 - Received a letter from her brother Andrew Robb aboard the ship
"John Dickinson" in New York - Letter below
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

For Miss Jeny [Jenny?] Robb

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

pleas [please?] return thro [through?]
H[og?]town 1845
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
