Content of Letter in family from Mary Marshall, New South Wales, dated 27 September, 1814 to John Sidaway brother of Mrs. Ann Nelson nee Sidaway, wife of Roland Nelson.

 

Sir, I have wrote so repeatedly that I almost despair of hearing, but I take this opportunity of once more troubling you, to request you to see Mrs. Nelson respecting the Deeds of the Farm as it is impossible to dispose of it without them, could I once procure them I would do the utmost in my power to have it sold and remit the money to your sister.  I have sent to England at every opportunity but never could receive a satisfactory answer, the last letter I received from Mrs. Nelson she tells me that you will send me the deeds by a friend of yours but they have not yet reached me. 

I most sincerely hope you and Mrs Nelson are in good health and that you accept my best compliments. 

I remain Sir

Your sincere wellwisher

and humble servant                             Mary Marshall
