| Notes: | Gough apologises saying he and his wife may not be able to facilliatate such a presentation as they often do not know when they will be in London. He remarks he was in Ireland last month [December 1898] for a week - "things look outwardly much the same in the county, [he doesn't mention which "county" - does he mean "country"?] but I think it would have pogressed better without the land laws of the last 20 years".
