O'Reilly Letters
Title
George Beresford O'Reilly, New York, to his father, Myles John O'Reilly, 19 October 1852
Description
Despite having little news, O'Reilly expresses his gladness of his father's impending move to England, ensuring he will be closer to Myles, Reilly's brother, believing also that both his sisters Susan and Bessy are happy for the change. He also discusses the family's money issues. His health is good and he concludes with "New York is a healthy City notwithstanding the filthy state of the streets." [The O'Reillys were landed gentry living at Heath House, county Laois. George Beresford O'Reilly ( b.16 January 1829) married Harrietta, daughter of H. Adams of Sante Fé de Bogota, U.S. Columbia, in 1867. His brother Myles O'Reilly lived at Heath House (as the O'Reilly heir). (Burke, Bernard, Sir. A genealogical and heraldic history of the landed gentry of Great Britain & Ireland 6th ed. London : Harrison 1879. Vol II. page 1207) According to Myles, his father's income suffered greatly because of the Famine and through an arrangement with creditors and ill health he resided in Italy and France with his two daughters for the latter years of his life while Myles remained in Ireland to manage the estate. Myles John O'Reilly's address is given in George's letter to his sister of 19 October 1852].
