Dear Father and Mother, As the present time affords an opportunity
of communication with you, I embrace it,thanks be to God for all his
mercies. I am in good health and hope those lines will find you and
all my firends enjoy the same blessing. I sent you three letters from
Philadelphia in December last and one to the Rev. Mr. Wilson.
Whether he or you received them or not, I cannot tell but, as yet, I have
got no answer. Three vessels arrived at his country in Spring
from Londonderry, one of which, viz, the Richard was wrecked on
the coasts, the other two arrived safe, and as it is a month since the
last came in I think it singular that no letters have come to me.
But it is probably you sent them by the above named ship and
might have been lost. However, the passengers and goods arrived
safe, but the best way to send letters is by the Captain, and give
Robert McClurg/ McClorg, Whitehall, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to his father, David McClurg/ McClorg, Templemoyle, Bovevagh Parish, County Derry, 18 June 1820
