My dear Sir,

In the Spring of last year your brother John when in London promised to 
repay me the amount of repairs done, and head rent paid on the St... at Nury 
Prior to November 1828, about 98£.  He contended that you as your father's 
Executor ought to liquidate the demand but he admitted that the money was 
due to me - that a difference between brothers ought not to be a cause of loss 
to me. - He offered to shew me a letter from you to him urging him to 
discharge the demand-and he repeatedly and unconditionally pledged himself 
so to do.  About a month ago I wrote to him and calling upon him to perform 
his promise but he has not answered my letter neither has he ever replied to 
former communications from me or other Members of my family which they were 
induced to extend to him under the appearance that he wished to establish 
and maintain a regular correspondence with them.  I have borne this treatment 
my dear Sir with no ordinary degree of patience because I wish to cultivate 
the most friendly relationship with every member of your family, but your 
brother must not suppose that he has got a worm under his feet or if he does 
he may find it turn again-

From you my dear Sir I have always experienced Gentlemanly and Generous 
Conduct and Knowing your sentiments upon the subject I have chosen rather to 
write to you than to address your brother again under the hope that you will 
once more interpose your friendly offices to induce him to perform his 
promise and to prevent my taking a journey to Belfast to meet him upon the 
subject face to face.

You will be glad to hear that Maria and our infant daughter, born on the 
18th instant are both doing well - we have now Seven daughters and three 
sons.  My wife unites with Mary Eliza and Anne in affectionate regards to you 
and

I remain my dear Sir
Sincerely Your's
Wm Brackenbury-
