| Description | To Captain James Money from friends in Ireland. Five were written by Mrs. Hyde from Castle Martin, co. Kildare, and mostly concern family matters, though rumours of insurrection and French invasion are mentioned. The later letter was written by Mrs. Hyde’s daughter, Catherine the wife of John Leslie, a banker at Cork, asking Money to use his influence among the Directors of the East India Company to procure a writership for her step-son. |
