Letter to William Coppinger, Barr y’s Court, from Edmond Goold, reminding him that he wrote some days ago of his intention to appoint William and Mr Sarsfield ‘my Commissioners for receiving Paul Gould’s answer to my Bill in Chancery’. He entreats them to attend the office in person ‘as it would be of very bad consequence for me you did not, as I have no dependence on the Commissioners on the other side, who might very well pass over the ceremony of his swearing to his answer’. He thinks his bother John may be at Knockraha, having travelled from London to Cork, and that he may pay William his respects. [See U405/51 above]

Letter to William Coppinger, Barrys Court, from Margaret Gould [‘Goold’ in note on reverse; signature, address and date missing along frayed bottom edge]. Mrs Gould addresses him as ‘Dear Cousin’, and thanks him for his enquiry about the health of Rev Gould. She reports that ‘’He is thank the Great God every minute since Doctor Sarsfield saw him growing better. He is extreamly weak’. She notes that she had no t heard a word of cousin Sarsfield’s illness until Dr Sarsfield spoke of it. She and Rev Gould send wishes for her recovery and compliments to cousin Coppinger and cousin Sarsfield. She states that they would be glad to see them at any time, and expresses surprise that the latter has not been to see them these four months when he knew ‘Mr Gould was scarce one day well’ adding ‘at a much greater distance Garrett did not neglect him’.
