Summary

Clontarf April 26th

Hildebrand,

I send you a duplicate copy of my Will to be kept carefully.

Pray send my account with you. I find it was settled last October, so it begins anew from then.--- The best way is to settle it every year.---

I did everything I could to get a place in Dublin for Margaret Reilly, but I could not. I don’t think she cared much about it herself--- She is a very lazy bad servant, & never would make a good servant in this family, but I hoped she might do better in a very small family where she would be closely looked after & kept to her work, & would not be allowed to grumble which she was very fond of doing if she could not sit doing nothing half the day.

I was sorry to learn that the Shrubs in the pleasure ground are very much overgrown with weeds--- if they are not dug about immediately they will be seriously injured. You ought to write to Lord Altamont about Lynch’s getting it done--- he ought to take charge of the pleasure ground, for I believe Casey takes very bad care of it.---

I have written to Mr. Clendining to pay the Insurance of my life every November or December thro’ you--- So you are to call to him for the money every year.---

Yours

Catherine Sligo
