LETTER FROM LARRY TO HIS BROTHER, PAT BRADY, AT MR. MORDICAI'S,
COACHMAKER, LONDON.

MY DEAR BROTHER,

Yours of the 26th, inclosing the five pound note for my father, came
safe to hand Monday last; and with his thanks and blessing to you, he
commends it to you herewith inclosed back again, on account of his being
in no immediate necessity, nor likelihood to want in future, as you
shall hear forthwith; but wants you over with all speed, and the note
will answer for travelling charges; for we can't enjoy the luck it has

read it when you've time.

new man, Mr. Burke, come down that day too soon to stop it, and said,
'it was not becoming to trample on the fallen,' or something that way,
that put an end to it; and though it was a great disappointment to many,
and to me in particular, I could not but like the jantleman the better
for it anyhow. They say, he is a very good jantleman, and as unlike
old Nick or the saint as can be; and takes no duty fowl, nor glove,
nor sealing-money; nor asks duty work nor duty turf. Well, when I was
disappointed of the EFFIGY, I comforted myself by making a bonfire of
old Nick's big rick of duty turf, which, by great luck, was out in the
road, away from all dwelling-house, or thatch, or yards, to take fire;
so no danger in life or obj
