Letter to Sir Francis Goold - 1807. A letter from Richard Beare to Sir Francis Goold at "Bar, Kildare Street Club House, Dublin", concerning interest due on a bond. Posted at Boyle on10th October 1807.
Sir. Francis Goold (died1818) was the first Baronet Goold of Old Court, Co. Cork. He was the son of George Goold and Catherine May Galwey. He died on 20 August 1818, unmarried. He was succeeded by his brother Sir George Goold (2nd Bt) (1778 - 1870), who is also mentioned in this letter. The current Sir George William Goold (8th Bt) was born in 1950.
A Richard Beare is listed as a Magistrate in the Commission of the Peace for Roscommon in 1831 - 32. A Captain Richard Beare died in Cork on 14 November 1850. No further information on this name is currently available.
The letter appears to reads as follows: Boyle, the 10th of Octobr 1807 Dear Sir Francis, I am sorry to be obliged to be obliged (sic) to write to you again on the subject of my interest money not having been paid to Mr Kemp, my agent at Cork with whom I had left a receipt to give to any person whom you should have deputed to pay the amt of in your absence. I think it necessary to inform you I had written to you on this subject to London, having procured your address when there, and to observe I was not favored with any answer. I have had a letter from Mr. Jeremiah Kemp of Cork, who in my absence transacts my business, informing me he had seen your brother George Goold to whom he had applyed to be informed, how and where and to whom he was to apply for the amt of the receipt I had left with Mr Kemp, which your brother could give him no information on - I shall make no further remark at present on this subject, but expect that you will immediately give the necessary instructions to have my interest money paid at Cork, being two years due the 20th of May last on your Bond - I am Dear Sir Francis Yr faithfull and Obedient Sevt Richard Beare
Perhaps the most interesting thing about this letter is the small straight-line namestamp for BOYLE with a very early (1807) date. Namestamps are recorded as not having been introduced until ca.1823. (See here).
