| Disgrifiad | Is very glad to hear of Mr Thelwall's advancement. Fears his brother is brave only over his cups and not before the fair. Such behaviour will never do; courage is the most amiable character with the fair sex and to which they are most apt to strike. Desires his brother to beg Mr Buller to make what haste he can with the writer's clothes, for he will want mightily against the term.
Further desires his brother's assistance to buy him a tie wig of about four pounds price; he would have it of a bright grizle but not very light; let it be full and well made, but not too much of the fashion for he has been persuaded that the English wigs do twice the service of theirs (Irish). Has little news but of the late storms when there were so great a flood in the river (Liffey) that the town was almost under water; have an account of near 30 ships that were cast away on the Irish coast.
Desires to know who is to be their sheriff |
