Society Ltd., 4 Donegall Square South, Belfast Dear Miss Faulkner, I
am sorry that in my haste leaving the office on Saturday, I overlooked the
fact that you were taking your holidays, and omitted to wish you an
enjoyable time. I apologise for this & take this opportunity of wishing you
a pleasant holiday. The weather at present is unfortunately, not too good,
but I trust it will mend quickly, & that you will benefit from the rest & be
fit & as a result for, but in hope, a busy winter. With kind regards, Yours

Donegall Square South, Belfast Dear Mrs. Faulkner, With regards to
your daughter's illness we shall be glad if you will claim sickness benefit
from the Society of which your daughter is a member. If you get in touch
with the local agent, to whom you give the stamped insurance cards, he will
advise you the procedure to be adopted. The practice of this Society in the

Overseas to Miss Irene Faulkner, 64 Fitzwilliam Street, University Road,
Belfast, Northern Ireland 980032 A.C. Dean, R.A.F. - 980032 A.C. Dean W.F.G.,
S.H.Q. Signals W/T Section, Royal Air Force Station "A" Reykjavik, Iceland
(C) Force 7/2/42 (Recd. 19/2/42) Dear Irene, It is just a month ago
since you wrote telling me the sad news about the Chapmans, your letter
reached me a few days ago, rather funny I should start to answer it now,
seeing you wrote it on the 7th Jan. so do hope you get this as quickly as I
received yours. Yes thanks very much indeed, your marvellous Christmas
parcel, do hope you will have had my letter, telling you that everything
arrived safely. I guess you can register a parcel if it goes letter post,
but not if it is big and has to go parcel post. Mail from home comes through
quite regular now. Yes I guess it sploit (spoilt) Mother & Dad when I was
stationed so near home & being able to get home at week-ends. Hope Dad has
been able to phone you ? this. Well I guess Christmas was kind of
quiet here to, but I did enjoy myself with my friends, service chaps of
course. Yes I guess a few would spend a very different Christmas, than they
did the year before. Well Irene, you are very kind, sending me the chocolate
again, but really you shouldn't, because just now it is much easier to get
it, sometimes we can buy 3 to 4 blocks at a time, and I guess if they have
an extra supply on hand, they let us have 6 blocks, so I will have to bring
you some when I get my leave, and post it on to you from England. I am
hoping to get home in the near future, but everything is so uncertain, I
mustn't expect too much. No I guess there is no likely hood of a change in
that direction, the boys you have heard of are mostly Squadron blokes, but
then one hears so many rumours, and Iceland is famous for its rumours, still
one day I'll be able to tell you the whole story I hope! Well now I guess
this is rather a short letter, there isn't much news just now, but I'll try
and do better next time, and I won't forget the stamps. Glad to say I am
still feeling fit and well, and have just shaken off an Icelandic cold.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon, remember me to your people. Yours
sincerely, Fred xxx
18th February 1941 Postmark Yorkshire to Miss Irene Faulkner, 64 Fitzwilliam
Street, University Road, Belfast, N.I. from 980032 or 7 A. C.? Dean, c/o 45
Linnaeus Street, ? - 980032 AC2 Dean W7, The Regent Hotel, 45 Linnaeus
Street, Hull, Yorks. 17/2/41 - Dear Irene, Your letter arrived a little
sooner than I expected, the postal services must be improving. Thanks very
much indeed for a most interesting letter. My cough, I am glad to say is
better. There is six of us in this private hotel, it is really a large
house, but very nice, 5 of us share a very large bedroom, with single beds.
The meals are tip top & everyone is very contented, it is as good as being
at home. Our time is our own to, after the college hours, we do get a little
P.T., but I am feeling better for that, Church Parades will be every other
Sunday: Funny Mother's letter & mine should arrive at the same time. I shall
be going home at the week-end, perhaps once a month. The college work is
very interesting & we all are very happy & contented. Thanks for the
newspaper cutting, it does happen to be the same family. I am very sorry. I
haven't written to Roy Goodman, yet, I do owe him a letter, I can't just
remember his No. I know the first 3 figures are 984 & the last is 3 are the
same but in a different order & I am not sure if its 894 or not, so if you
like to try 984894, it my find him. If you phoned and asked for Bert in the
signals section, he could get in touch with Roy for you, do you remember the
No. I told you to have Dad's Call transferred to ----- then asks for EXT. 15
- Hope you do, - because for obvious reasons I can let you know any other
way. In any case I shall write to Bert & tell him what you say. Or if you
have mislaid the No. he will be able to Phone you instead. Will look out for
your Branch over here, one never knows just where they will be next time a
move is in the air. Still we must wait and see, things & times are so
uncertain these days, one can't always make arrangements to suit ones self.
I shall like to get back to the "Grenoble" I shant forget very quickly the
jolly times I spent there. My Course is likely to last until June. If you
don't chance a letter to Roy, it would find him even without and No. I am
sure, please give him my address & ask him to drop a line, also say I shall
write him soon. Please remember me to your Mother, Father, and thank them
again & of course yourself for your kindness to me while I was in Ireland.
Yours sincerely love Fred

2) 11th January 1862 Paris My dear McHenry, I have your letter this
morning (not even going to try to figure out the writing, will mention
any names I can make out)
3) 1866 36 Great George Street, Westminster, S.W. - Dear Mr. McHenry,
I am in town for a few hours on business, I have been very ill & am so
still, if you should be in by this time your clerk said could you spare me a
few minutes here of conversation wh...... I would wait for the back to
Brighton 6 train, & take a servant with me, as it will be crowded & dark.
Please let me know as soon as you come in if you have time to speak to me at
5 oclock & please bring the letters that concern me, always faithfully yours

4) 16th December 1866 Artillery Lodge, My dear Mr. McHenry, Thank you
for your note received today, & its contents, also for writing to L. W. K.
what you say is just - I must ask you for ? ? I hope it will be the
last, as he L. W. K. has written to say he will. I am to have all the
children & he will allow us £100 per month, till he can come over & wishes
me to go to France or Geneva & for the finishing of their education. It is
not enough, but anything ? is better than ? I find that he did not send any
money this month, as he promised & consequently my balance is very low, not
enough to pay this months expenses. My boys both come home for the holidays
on Wednesday, I have to come to town to the dentists, having suffered a good
deal lately & probably may see you at all events. I shall try to in the mean
time will you deposit £100 in the Bank for me, that I may be safe, till all
is settled. My father is indignant beyond exprefsion at his conduct & has
written as well as yourself, Coleridge K. has also interested himself & as I
doubt that things will ? down more comfortably only for the moment I must
appeal to you, Wishing you and yours a happy christmas and a much happier
"New Year" than 1866 has been. I am dear Mr. McHenry always your sincerely &
grateful friend, Ortavia? Kennard? We only stay here to be near
my father for christmas, it may be the last time we are altogether, as he is
breaking ? fast though gradually. After that we go abroad, provided our
money matters are ?

1) 1872 Paris France Rush C. Hawkins - ? My dear Mc, I answer to
your ? the Certificates in question have already been ? with Duncan Sharman?
& Co. Why can they not be forwarded to you by them? and thus save the
trouble of getting new receipts from Barlow, are the ? of 1868 for which
these certificates are to be exchanged entitled to receive the new
securities? If you will write me ? sending the Certificates through D.S. &
Co. will do as well as through Barlow. I will forward it (the letter) to Mr.
?annis who will give the matter his immediate attention. Yours faithfully
Rush Hawkins
2) 3rd January 1873 27 Leadenhall Street - Dear Sir Pets &
Betts? I have seen Mr. Maynard and have gone into the matter fully - I
understood him to sat that he would see Mr. Bishop and tell him that he
thought he must take the new securities the same as other people had done.
Mackenzie. I have arranged another appointment to examine Mr. Mackenzie's
Books for Tuesday at 12. In a letter from Mefsrs. Baxter Rose & Co., they
expressed hope that this would be the last occasion on which it would be
necessary for us to inspect the Books. In reply to it I stated that with a
view of meeting that object I proposed to ask Mr. Barr to attend with me in
order that there might be no difficulty in finding the Account of which I
desired to have a copy. In their reply fixing the appointment for Tuesday
next they make certain observations with reference to Mr. Barr of which I
send you a copy on the other side. I think perhaps it would be convenient if
you could arrange to attend the appointment on Tuesday. Kindly let me hear
from you on this point. I am, Dear Sir, Yours faithfully Geo.? Sedgment?
James McHenry Esq., 5 Westminster Chambers, Victoria ? ~ As regards Mr. Barr
attending with you, of course if you insist upon it. Mr. Mackenzie must
submit "that is, assuming Mr. Barr is a bona-fide Agent of the plaintiff, at
the same time we put it to you whether it is proper that Mr. Barr, who
obtained his knowledge whilst in the service and confidence of Mr.
Mackenzie, should now be asked to use that knowledge, and we may almost say,
betray that confidence, against the interest of his late employer" We
are &c.

Vickers & McHenry. McVickers looks to Mr. McHenry for payment & having
waited two years since Mr. McHenry made him a payment on account of the
balance then due to him, he declines to wait any longer - unless therefore
we receive the balance tomorrow we shall proceed by Debtors Summons in the
ordinary manner. Yours truly, Cole, Cole & Jackson. G. A. Sedgwick

New York Boston & Montreal Railway, and if you will kindly ---
yours faithfully ? Mackin?
2) 25th September 1873 6 Westminster Chambers, Victoria Street - My
Dear Sir, If a report on the Erie Railway should be desired, may I ask of
you the favour, in case you consider me fitted for the task, to so refer to
me in the proper quarter? I am yours very truly F. H. ? James McHenry
Esqre.
3) 12th October 1874 Columbus Ohio James McHenry Esqr., London,
England - My dear Sir, I have delayed this long in replying to your kind
letter of the 3rd inst., hoping to be able to reply very fully, and give you
some information as to the working of our new Railway Commission, but we are
not fairly under way yet. Great hopes are indulged that good will come out
of it, and no doubt it will result in increasing the net income of American
Railways if all unite in the system and act in good faith. So large an
amount of the earnings have been absorbed in paying Commissions, draw-backs,
and fraudulent practices, that little has been saved to Stock Holders, and
in the West the people are arrayed against Railway Corporations, and an
influencing legislation and judicial decisions against them. I thank you for
the Parliamentary Blue Book. And shall be glad to hear from you often, as
the foremost man of the age in the advocacy of cheap transportation by rail,
as a measure of profit and advantage to Railway Companies as well as the
people. Very Respectfully, Geo. B. Wright. I enclose you our
first Circular.
4) 27th December 1877 Grand Hotel Du Louvre, Paris - Dear Sir, I have
just been informed by ? ? that he has made an arrangement with ? ? to see
you this evening at 9 o'clock for the purpose of coming to an understanding
with you about the ? matter ? I have pushed Sch? to insist on the interview
for tonight so as to give Bisch? no time to communicate with Cassel? as
everything can be settled before Cassel hears of it - I think this so
important, that I take the liberty of troubling you again although M. Rubius?
informs me that you are not at all well this evening. I have a very fast
carriage at the door and all the trouble of the past four years may be
settled before any outsiders could possibly interfere. Please to consider
the above quite private. Very respectively yours, ? James McHenry Esqr.
Philli? wants to know how the big money is to be ? afterwards and that he
will be in it. That is all and if he is satisfied in this respect I can
collect the money. ? H. ?

1) 3rd March 1878 32 Rue Villejust? Paris - My dear Sir, I received
your ? of the 20 Feby. and have since worked to hurry up my people. Now I
think that I can get the money but under different conditions, first, you
must please have the kindness to write to me how you intend to consolidate
the interest of the Erie shareholders with those of the Atlantic & ?
Western, as they are all into the impression that the Atlantic is the cause
of the misfortune of the Erie, further more you must ask for fifty to sixty
thousand Pounds as necessary expenses to convey? the matters through without
reference to now many shares they have got, further that you intend that I
should go ? ? ? ? together as they believe ? mainly represents your Atlantic
interest and I would look out for the Erie interest. I did not go to Mr. ?
as my friends seem not inclined to deal with anybody else but with you and
me. Please to send me a letter containing the above proposition if possible
by return of mail and please sign it yourself as I have to do with very
particular men. Trusting to ? very soon, I remain, my dear Sir, very
sincerely yours, ? ? James H. McHenry Esq.
2) 6th March 1878 32 Rue Villyuste?, Paris - My dear Sir, I received
your favor of the 4th instant with enclosures. I have now to make an extract
of this to show my friends what actually would benefit the Erie Shares as
they have no other interest. With M. ? I cannot get them together but I will
call on him. Please to let me know if it is fully understood that if
whatever amount of cash I obtain for the matter, I am to have 20% Please
also to let me know a day or two beforehand when you will arrive at Paris. I
remain my dear Sir, very sincerely yours ? ? James H. McHenry, Esq.
3) 13th March 1878 32 Rue Villyuste, Paris - My dear Sir, I received
your favor of the 11th instant as well as the letter of the same date which
you sent to M. Levit? In the letter you ask only for 35,000 Pounds, which is
rather embarrassing for me as I had always put the lowest amount to be
£30,000 - but I have overcome, only your letter was a little late and the
principal man had to go out of town yesterday morning and will not return
until Saturday, so I had to postpone the matter until then. There is no
other difficulty about it now and I am as certain of success in my part as
you are in yours. You state in your letter that they will get the same
amount reconstruction scrip as they may pay cash, that means to say they
will get £35,000 scrip if they pay £35000 - cash - but I of course get the
commission you have promised me. Please if you get any news confirming your
or rather M. Levita? statement, that the sale of the Erie will be postponed
"sine du"? or of any postponement from the 25th March, which is near the day
fixed, it would be good if you could let me have it. Please let me know if I
understand about the Scrip & the Commission correctly. I remain, my dear
Sir, very sincerely yours ? ? James H. McHenry, Esq.
4) 24th March 1878 32 Rue Villijuste?, Paris - My dear Sir, Please
telegraph me by receipt of this if you do not think best to have a part of
the money say £10,000 - paid to Mr. Levita on your account for the
Reconstruction of the Erie so as to bind? my ? as the contradictory news,
which are now in the papers and to what M. Levita? informed me yesterday,
may perhaps frighten one or the other of my party and as soon as something
in paid they want naturally take more interest. I hope and wish you
success and I remain very sincerely yours ? Please telegraph very
early. James McHenry, Esq.

1) 26th March 1878 32 ? Villyuste - My dear Sir, I am very much
obliged to you for your telegram of yesterday and I heartely congratulate
you on your success. I received both your letters and saw Levita & ? today
who showed me the full judgement and this proves certainly your entire
success. My party is allright, although I cannot say that the whole of the
money will be paid this week, it will certainly be paid inside of eight
days. There are a few points which must be settled yet and I have therefore
arranged an interview with Mr. Levita for tomorrow afternoon. These points
are only in regard of the division of the profit on the transaction. Mr. ?
told Mr. Levita that you had informed him that you could get a call us at
14? on Erie shares for a year. Would you have the kindness to telegraph me
on receipt of this what the conditions of this call are. Wishing you all
possible success and trusting that everything will be arranged this week. I
remain my dear Sir very sincerely yours ? James McHenry Esq.
2) 27th March 1878 32 ? Villyuste - My dear Sir, I am in receipt of
both your favors of yesterday's date and I quite understand about my
Commission. I have been at Me. Levita's today with the .......... obliged
for your kind telegram in regard to the Call on Erie. I hope that everything
will be allright and settled this week and remain, my dear Sir, very
sincerely yours ?
3) 2nd April 1878 32 ? Villyuste Tercle Franco Americain, 4
Place de l'Opera, Paris - My dear Sir, I wrote to you on Sunday last. I went
today to Mr. Levita but could not find him in. But I will see him tonight
and he will most likely telegraph you to come over on Thursday. I am all
finished so far that the money will be paid as soon as you come and satisfy
my friends that every thing is as I told them and that you intend to work it
through. Capt. Francis W. Lowther? whom you know as he tells me you took
once 100? Atlantic ? Western Bonds of him when he bought two hundred
thousand at your advice. Now he wants to know if you would kindly accept his
acceptance of £1000 for his subscription, for 4 months as otherwise he would
be obliged to go to London and arrange about it. He says you can enquire
about him besides you know him. He has been a great assistance to me besides
I think we will be able to use him more, as he is very influential with some
of the richest private people. I hope to see you very soon and I remain,
very sincerely yours ? Please let me know by telegraph about Lowther
request.
4) 4th April 1878 32 ? Villyust? Paris - My dear Sir, I received your
favor of yesterday. I had a meeting with Mr. Levita & Mr. ? this morning and
they told me to tell my friends that you would be here about next Monday if
the weather permits. The receipt will be altered Mr. Levita says and I have
not told anybody about the 20% Bonus except Sir M? Thompson on his
subscription of £5000 and we will have to stick to it now as far as he is
concerned. With the others it wont be necessary except that Thompson should
have told Mr. Baron who is for £1000, but I don't think so. The subscribers
to the money dont get 50% by my ? but only 30% as the remaining 20% I had to
divide amongst others particularly to a Lady who has been of great
assistance, and Mr. Levita knows all about this and will explain it better
to you than I can. As soon as you arrive here you will receive inside of a
few days the whole of the money. I will tell Lowther that he has to find his
whole share in Cash. Thompson is a very rich man, they say he has £40000 a
year and we might use him for further transactions, all he ask Levita was
whether he was doing the right thing in joining your undertaking. Please let
me know a day or two before you arrive when you are coming so as to have my
people all here. Very sincerely yours ? James McHenry Esq.
5) 18th April 1878 32 ? Villyust, Paris - My dear Sir, I can only come
at 1½ oclock to see you today as I have to go accross the water this morning
on account of our business. The Baronness? did not conclur? with those
gentlemen last night but is much better humour as she was. She has told him
that she will take ? & Pack? ? in it and made appointments with them for to
day or tomorrow. Aaron Hirsch has this morning the Turkish mail (it
only leaves every Friday via Marseilles) and he will send Mr. Kamper at 1
oclock today to you for making an appointment. Phillipart? writes from
Brussels and wants to know if the Big Syndicate is made up. The
Baroness telegraphed this morning to Kirsch's most influential friend to be
here today for the purpose of working him.? Very sincerely yours, ?
James McHenry, Esq.

6th May 1878 - My dear Sir, I can only come down to see you at 2 o'clock

5) 5th December 1881 Sunbury-on-Thames - Dear Mr. McHenry, I suppose you
have received Mr. Reilly's letter telling you that I was returning on the
following Sat., as Mr. Reilly informed me he had written to that effect. Mr.
& Mrs. Cox were very kind to me indeed in Philadelphia, but I am sorry to
say I thought, & many persons agreed with me, that Meade Farm was too far
from the principal Town to carry the Post/Pork, in consequence of the
immense amount of snow & cold they get in the winter there & as the
Port/Post/Pork? business was entirely a winter one, I should have been
entirely without employ in the summer. Mr. Reilly was kindness itself
and advised my every movement, with kind regards to Mrs. McHenry & yourself.
I am yours sincerely Sydney Kennard? I don't wish to run Meade Farm
down, but I fear it must have been a loss so far, there was no work going on
while I was there as it was too wet, & the country was perfectly sodden.

when I found out yesterday that you expected me Sunday, but I have been

Fruithill, Roses? Lane Ends, Co. Antrim January 18th 1916 - Dear Mrs.
Boston, I enclose ? this ? ? as requested, the delay in returning it was
unavoidable as Mr. ? had gone back to Co. Antrim Infirmary, Lisburn last
week, & it had to be sent after him, this is a most unfortunate case, he had
been 10 weeks there before, undergoing an opperation for disease in the
elbow joint & now he has to undergo another one, with I fear very little
hope of its being successful; his health insurance will be reduced in 2 or 3
weeks to 5/- & 3/6 per week, his wife had out of Prince of Wales fund, has
been stopped, as white sewing is again plentiful although she can do little
at it, with so many children to look after, I do hope you will succeed in
getting him a grant. yours ? Mockler
3) 29th January 1916 County Antrim Infirmary, Lisburn - Dear ? Mockler,
Br. David Heatley had very extensive disease of the head of the Radius (one
of the bones of the forearm) just at the elbow-joint. I removed it by an
operation. It will be some months before he can use the arm for work but I
trust he will have a very useful elbow in time. He is a very decent man and
deserves any assistance from the Croftin? Institute. yours fraternally

6) Naul, Killylea 29th October 1928 - Dear Grace, Your letter received
and glad to know Tom & yourself are well. The weather continues wet &
stormy, and a lot of hay & oats to gather in, and the potatoes to dig, it is
not so bad here as in many places. There are some districts where the corn
is not all cut yet. We ourselves have got all fairly well secured. All being
well, my Sister intends going to the City say, Wednesday week 7th November,
being the half0holiday you wouldn't be so busy, you could show her round
some places of interests. She doesn't know the way about, if you could
meet her at the station it would greatly oblige, you can say if that
arrangement would suit you & I will see about the train times & let you know
later, hoping to see you this way at your earliest opportunity, you will be
welcome. Yours ever sincerely, Willie J. Steele
