Re. Edenmore

Dear Sir,
Referring to our previous correspondence and conversations we
are now instructed by Reverend Mother de Pazzi on behalf of the
Sisters of St. Joseph Of Chambery to make an offer to purchase from
the Corporation the fee simple of the Iands coloured red and green
and hatched red on the Map herewith (Plan No. 70201 dated 15/3/56 as
altered to show the portion hatched red and the approximate line of
the new roads) upon the following terms :-

1. The purchase money to be ￡12,000 to include Edenmore as
   shown on the Map plus Kelly's house and grounds and the
   portion of his land plus old road which will be enclosed by
   the new road when made. Kelly's farm buildings may be
   demolished by the Corporation and the rubble removed and used
   for fiIIing for the foundation of the new Road but the
   site of the farm buildings would be included in the sale.

2. The Corporation at their own expense to erect a boundary
   fence along all portions of the boundary not already fenced.
   This fence is to consist of chain Link (11/2 mesh) erected
   on concrete posts 6 feet high above the ground plus an
   additional foot curved inwards towards the property and
   upon which 3 strands of barbed wire will be placed.

3. The Corporation to bring the sewer and water supply along
   the road to the point marled "y" on the Map within 6 months.

4. The Corporation to resurface the Avenue coloured deeper red
   and generally clean up the grounds, that is, remove all the
   debris etc.
   P.T.O.

   S. Possession of Edenmore to be given on acceptance of this
   offer by the Corporation and of Kelly's property within twelve
   months thereafter,
   We shall be glad to hear as soon as possible that the
   Corporation will accept this offer. We may add that It is our
   clients intention to expend a very considerable sum on the alteration
   repair and renovation of this property and as this will take a very
   considerable time it is important that they should be able to put
   the work in hands at an early date.
   Yours faithfully,

   Re: Edenmore
   Dear Mother de Pazzi,
   Having obtained the views of Messrs Jones & Kelly I have
   To-day written to Mr. McAuley a letter of which I send you a copy.
   I have also sent a copy of this to Mr. Jones.
   I understand from Mr. Jones that it would be possible to
   make the lodge at the main gate entrance habitable for two Sisters.
   He is probably writing to you about the matter. He says the
   slated roof is good and would only require minor repairs. The
   accommodation consists of three rooms and now floors would have
   to be laid and the inside replastered. At the rere of the house
   Is a timber Iean-to room which is in a bad state and he suggests
   that a small kitchenette and bathroom should be built in this
   position. He says that this lodge will have to be made habitable
   at some time or other for a lodgekeeper to occupy and if it were
   done now it would provide the necessary accommodation for the
   Sisters. That however is a matter for yourself. If it commends
   itself to you this work would have to be put in hands first. Mr.
   Jones seems to think this might be carried out between now and
   Christmas but I doubt this. It seems to be my unhappy Iot to cast
   continual doubt upon the expedition for which other people hope.
   Until the Corporation have accepted your offer it would be very
   foolish to expend any money and at present there are two doubtful
   points - (1) will the Corporation accept the offer and (2) when

A view of the White Star Liner ‘Oceanic’ leaving Queenstown (now Cobh) Harbour in 1905. Launched in 1899, it was largest ship in the world until 1901. At the outbreak of the First World War, the ship was requisitioned for service in the Royal Navy as an armed merchant cruiser. In September 1914, the ship ran aground off the coast of Shetland and was wrecked. She was the first Allied passenger ship to be lost in the war.
