Robert McClurg/ McClorg, Whitehall, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to his father, David McClurg/ McClorg, Templemoyle, Bovevagh Parish, County Derry, 18 June 1820
I am determined not to move much more in this country than
I have done. It is very unprofitable. This goes by the Conestaga and she
is the first Spring ship back again to Philadelphia as men-
tioned in the papers. Now a word to my aged and much loved
parents as also brothers and sisters, some of the former I am afraid
are not alive from my dreams. . Look unto that God who alone
can support you in all trials and dangers, prepare for death and judgement
take care of your parents while yet with you and oh that I were
with them to assist them in their old age. May the blessing of the Almighty
God of Jacob rest with you all Amen. Robert McClorg
