Glückstadt 22d of September 1796

My dear Sir!

You have no doubt received my letter of the 13^th

instant which I sent to Mr Peschier forward you;

it must have given you pleasure, as it conveyed to you

as faithful description of you beautiful and amiable

child. Would to God that I could have remained

longer near him, I then could have proved the serenity

of my heart in fulfilling my promises, by impressing

over his mind (by my attentions) the affectionate

esteem which I have for his father !

I would have remained longer […] Hamburg

but the importunities of Mr Siencking prevailed on me

to quit it for America. You know I sold him

100.000 acres of land in that country, but as the

agent who was initially authorised by us both

to make the conveyance, died some time ago

in New York, and as two years have now

elapsed since I made the sale without having

it finished, I determined from his intreaties,

and indeed for our mutual interest to go myself

and put a final period to it.

I have therefore left Hambro this morning,

and will [n]ow sail for Charleston the first

fair wind. I hope to be back in May […]

when I shall have the pleasure of writing you.

  I received your kind letter of the 27^th

August a few days ago, but I was so hurried

that I had not time to reply to it sooner.

I am thankful for the trouble you

have h[…]  the 66953 Rd. 20 I hope you will

be able to […] them to Mr Peschier or to […]

Lubbert & Dumas before this reached you;

I thought your Government incapable

of trifling in a matter so plain: but we

never should (I believe) trust to the promise

of Governors, for they are generally meant

but to deceive. In this instance we have witnessed it.

  I have no doubt my good friend but you will

give every assistance in your power to put a

final close to this business which I have assured

my friends in Copenhagen & Hamburg that you would

do without fail & even with pleasure.

  Our friend Barney is likewise gone a few

days ago to America with the Command of 10 frigates

From Rochefort. I wish with all my soul he may

be successful against the English. You will

therefore be pleased in future to correspond with

J. F. Perregaux of Paris in case of prizes

or any business that […]

here after in that way […]

Written to him about H[…] Janson

In the manner which he […]

It is pleasure my dear friend to make money, and possess

At the same time the esteem of all those with whom

we have to do – such is your happy lot !

  My best compliment to Mrs […] Janson

& to our worthy Mr Chezaulx & all his family.

Believe me to be sincerely most affectionate

Your friend O’Mealy

I begged of you to my last to send the pipe of Geir to Hambro

Which you will please to do, to my good friends Lubbert & Dumas

Adieu my dear Mr. Janson! God bless you, and

Grant you much happiness from your dear children

Ever yours

Mr […] Janson

Agent de la Cour
