Annual report addressed to the 11th Baron Digby following the death of his predecessor. Goodbody reports that £7000 has been remitted and briefs the new Lord Digby on the state of Ireland during the War of Independence: 'Ireland continues in a disturbed and unsatisfactory condition. This neighbourhood has not escaped the general destruction of Constabulary barracks, the only three barracks on your estate having been maliciously and wantonly burnt and wrecked, those of Clonmore being wholly destroyed and of Geashill & Killeigh partially so. The police authorities having vacated them prior to their destruction have since surrendered same, with a consequent loss of future rental. Claims for compensation have been lodged for substantial amounts and are still pending.'
Letters from A&L Goodbody Solicitors to Reginald Digby regarding tenancies on the Geashill Estate. Issues referenced include a request from tenant, Patrick Crowley, seeking permission to erect a shed (3 December 1915); arrangements to send details of the rental of Lord Digby's unsold estate (10 January 1922) and telegram organising the return of a disentailing deed from 1856 (22 January 1952).
Digitised collection of annual reports and rentals of the Geashill Estate, King's County sent by successive land agents to Lord Digby at his permanent residence in Dorset. Also includes two volumes of drawings depicting improvements made to labourers' cottages on the estate.
