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 :-
- 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. -
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. -
The Corporation to bring the sewer and water supply along
the road to the point marled "y" on the Map within 6 months. -
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. - Harcourt Street,
Dublin.

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,
A. O'Hagan & Son,

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
