Letter from Hercules Ellis, Dublin, to Madame Blaze de Bury, 1859 June 29 : autograph manuscript signed.

Updating her on the progress of the sale of a piece of property in Ireland and explaining that the sale cannot be completed until November, as the court will have risen for the "long vacation" by the time they can obtain an order for the purchase of the property; stating that he "carefully examined the value of the mortgaged property" and that he fears that after payment of expenses, "the residue will not be very much", and assuring her that he will spare no pains to obtain the best purchase price possible for the property.
