Letter from a Parish Priest, 1819 Co. Tipperary: An A.L. signed and
dated 24 January 1819 from T. More, P.P., Rapla (Nenagh, Co. Tipperary)
to Matthew Franks of York St., Dublin. Requests in obsequious terms
and at length that Franks intercede with ‘’her Ladyship’’ to obtain for
him a lease of part of Rapla, as she had promised, as the former agent
Mr.Cullen has been discontinued and the new agent does not know
him. He stresses the terrible condition of the land - the lower part
waterlogged, the upper part stripped bare and covered in beggars’
cabins - and his trouble and expense in reclaiming it. The previous
tenant McCan had neglected it and he had got him dismissed. A very
comprehensive 3pp letter. As a m/ss, w.a.f. (1)
Estimate €140 - €200
