To

Mister Alexander Filgate at

Lissrenny near

Ardee

-------------------------------------

Dublin 14th June 1763

I had the pleasure of yours. Yesterday and

this day I met Councellor Foster who sayd he would recommend it that

either you or my father would attend the sale of Tipperstown, tho it

was impossible for him to tell whether it would be adjourned or not,

as that depended upon the bidders. For if it don't sell to the amount

of Mister Jennys demand then it will be adjourned

by Mister Dawson, and if it should sell to the amount of Mister Jennys

demand, and at a great undervalue in the eyes of Mister Tippers friends

then they will have the sale put off 'til November if

they can, which must be done by an application to the Court,

which application must be founded upon affidavits made to that

purport, and if such an application should be made, it's a doubt what

the Court may do in that case. I don't know whether they will set up

Tipperstown & Lissrenny seperate, but I met Mister Hutchisen, Mister Jennys

Attorney, & told him that I believed it might sell the better for dividing it

it, but he seemed doubtful that they could do so. Yet I understand from Jones

that it may be sold so under Deuce. I hope by this time your legg may be

so well as not to prevent your coming to town yourself, as your friends here would

be glad to see you. Ally & the girls joyn in duty to you & my Aunt

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

& love to Billy & the girls with ...

Your dutiful & affectionate nephew

William Filgate

It's now past ten O clock, and this I write

from the coffee house where there is much

noise, but within this half hour I have seen

Mister Jones, who thinks there will not be

any occasion for my fathers or your coming to town at this

time, as since I had seen him before, he met Councellor Foster

and they seem to think there will be nothing done at the time

of the sale advertized, but am to meet him & Councellor Foster in

Court tomorrow, and if you & my father would mean to be at

all Lissenny you may commission me to bid what you

think proper by return of post, as a reasonable time will be

allowed for a deposit.
