to know for what purpose you
want the above information.
As our P.P. Canon Casey
wrote to the agent (H.D.M. Barton,
The Bush, Antrim.) a few
weeks ago asking if he
3
would accept my aunt that is
my stepâmother as tenant if
a settlement was arrived at and
the answer he got from the agent
was that under any circumstances
would he again deal with the
Murphy Family. But that he the agent would be willing
to if our goodâwill was
bought out to let it to anyone
that would buy it our Good will
Of course I need not say that
we will not surrender our
4
claim as easily as that. I will expect a letter from
you by return of Post
Do not keep me in suspense
With best regards to
yourself and all my
Cousins at the Rock I remain
Your Cousin D.J. Murphy. To D. C. Curtin Esq. R.D.C. Noteaddress.
