Letter at PRONI re D/3897/2 from Peter Gale of Carlow to Revd Abraham Symes (from papers that belonged to hos daughter Mary Anne Symes) Dated 1st January 1774. "Not having until now heard of you from Hayesville has been the cause of my not sooner acknowledging your very obliging favour. I am very happy how Inoculation has so well succeded in your family. Mr Cooper's younger daughter is just recovered from a very favorable smallpox in the same way. It is really ????? that she or Mr Browne has not yet paid you that triffle. I can assure you I have not been sparing of my hints about it. You know I always thought you a man of taste and am now more than ever convinced of it, from your late theatrical amusement & elegant choice of performers. As you tell me you are to be Town on a very pleasing occasion towards the end of the month I have some hope of the pleasure of meeting you there as I shall probably go up with my son who is to answer examinations about this time. A total dearth of Carlow news leaves me little more to say than that, wishing you Mrs Symes and Family many ??? new years, I am with mine and their Family's best regards to you and yours your affectionate brother & sincere humble servt Peter Gale" Entry in Ferns clergy and parishes is wrong in saying that Anne Hunte was the daughter of George LeHunte and also in giving 1782 as his year of death.

Year of birth is a guesstimate Date of death from Finn's Leinster Journal quoted in the Irish Genealogist. Also gives her parents names quoting Burk ILG 1894 ed.
