| Notes: | Goudie seeks to clarify who created certain stained glass windows and goes on to apologise for inferring in a circular that she, and not Harry Clarke, had executed the works: "I beg to make the following statement regarding the work mentioned in my circular as 'Executed' for J. Clarke & Sons, Dublin. The windows for Carrickmacross were designed and cartooned by me to Mr. Harry Clarke's instructions, and under his direction. Those for Nuneaton were cartooned and the glass selected by me, also under his directions. The St. Lawrence Window in Cahir was designed and cartooned by me following instructions. The windows in 'Bedworth' though I think this name may be erroneous, were the last I did for your firm. The painted decorations in Letterkenny were made for your firm from Mr. Harry Clarke's designs". Note - damage to the sheet of paper in two places, very delicate.
