Leamy, John, Cahir, Ireland, to Father Joseph Billon for Thomas Leamy, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1844 October 23

John addresses his letter to his "Brothers if there be any of you alive." He has been retained as a process server in Cahir which would support him pretty well but getting old he would expect that either of them would not forget their only brother and only sister, Catherine Leamy . John has received information from Michael Toomy of New Orleans requesting to know from his father in Clonmel whether any of the Leamys were alive in Cahir. John hopes that Billon will put a stop to Toomy's career and will write to Father Michael Tobin, parish priest, and send an account of Thomas and Michael Leamy . Thomas went out in 1815 and Michael in 1827. Toomy states in his letter that he had the Leamys or at least one of them in his employ. Ireland was never more peacable; he quotes the price of grain, animals, etc. Mail is to be directed to Tobin or to John Clayton to be forwarded to John. :: V-5-b A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
