Letter of Timothy Power, Málaga, 1772Timothy Power was an Irish-born merchant who settled in Spain and apparently was very successful in trade. In June 1773 he was visited by the English travel-writer Richard Twiss, who described him as follows (Travels through Portugal and Spain in 1772 and 1773, London, 1775, p 260): The only good picture in this city is in the possession of Timothy Power, Esq., it represents the Virgin Mary and Child, St John and St Anne, whole lengths, and the figures are somewhat less than the life. I esteem it to be one of Raphael's best paintings. ….. Mr Power was so obliging as to give me an invitation to spend a few days at his country-house; accordingly his beautiful lady, and another señora, mounted their burros, or jack asses, attended by Mr Power, the consul, two other gentlemen, and myself, on horseback, and rode four leagues to the town of Alhaurin, on a road over mountains impassable for carriages, through a very fertile country, beautified with the most romantic prospects, and with hedges of aloës, holly, and briar. His house is furnished in the English taste, and his garden produces gooseberries, blackberries, currants, & c.; and these were the only plants of the kind I met with in Spain. We remained here four days, and were entertained with great hospitality and politeness, which rendered those days some of the most agreeable I had passed in that kingdom.The letter measures 23cms x 19cms, is written in a clear hand, and though torn is virtually intact and perfectly legible. It is addressed "To Mr Gregory Byrne, Merch[an]t, for Mr James Archbold, In Dublin." The text reads:[1] Dear BrotherMalaga ye 7 July 1772I had the pleasure to receive in course your acceptable Letter dated ye 16 April, & have been since on a constant look out for an opportunity to send you the 20 Boxes Lemons you calld for, but none has hitherto offered; for Capt Evans had saild long before your L[ett]re arrived; & the Capt Carew as still in Cork, he had his entire cargo engaged & mostly then onboard: there is a Vessel now in the harbour seeking goods for Cork & Dublin. If she should be able to make up her Cargo, & goe first for your place I will send you said Lemons by her, but not otherwise, as it would be too hazardous a delay to let them goe first to Cork. Youl perceive that your aforesaid kind lines did not retch us in time to prevent the 4 H[ogshea]ds Brandy going to you with the 64 Quarter Casks Wine by Capt Evans, for which we were very sorry; however [I] shall still hope you wont loose by them, as [I] shall wish to hear: indeed our ill luck in displeasing M: Scurlog so much in the quality of the Brandys sent him, has given us unexpressable concern; youl probably hear what we wrote him, & to our good Uncle Byrne on this subject, w[hi]ch I hope will be satisfactory, as it's the real truth, & I do afirm to you faithfully, that if we do not succeed in serving you all, on every occasion, in the most pleasing manner, in every respect, that it is not for want of applying the greatest care possible to the execution of your orders, but merely a chance turn of ill luck attending Human opperations, from w[hi]ch no body living is exempt at times; if [2] at your market there should return a call for Brandys from hence, I hope we shall be able to furnish them much better than heretofore, having acquired more experiance and knowledge in this new branch of trade.Your Sister & I who continue thank God in good health, are quite happy my d[ea]r Jimmy, to find you goe on so well in your little business, & you can thoroughly depend that I shall consequently have great satisfaction in continuing to your prosperity on every occasion, as far as depends on me. Pray received both our aff[ectiona]te remembrance, & return our very cordial salutes to our Dear Uncle & Aunt Byrne, believing me to be constantlyMy Dear Jimmy,Your most aff[ectiona]te Br[other] & S[ervan]tTimothy PowerN.B. Having seen in one of your News Papers printed by James Hoey jun[io]r advertisem[en]t of the publication of the following Books by him I request you will buy & send me, by one or other of the Vessels that will be coming hither presently for Fruit Cargoes, a set of each vizt:The 4 Vol'ume]s of the Story Teller, cont[ainin]g all NumbersThe Macazin des Enfants, &The Univeral housewife, a Cookery Book.Pray don't send them, but by an opportunity for this place & charge their cost to my Bro[the]rs Jno & Mich[ae]l in London.I repeat my thanks for the Ring you sent me of your [3] Curious Irish Diamonds, it is very pretty. If a set of Ear rings & Solitare for a Lady could be had thereof, at a price correspondent to its intrinsick worth, I wish youd send me a set, & debit my Bro[the]r for them, & in case you buy them pray chuse a new patern, or Polly will scould you.

IRA Financial Statements and Account, 1922 -25[Mac Bride (Sean)] Two ring binders containing detailed IRA internal accounts covering the period from March 1922 to November 1925, well over one hundred documents containing some 500 pages, many of the documents signed by Sean Mc Bride, who was the IRA's Director of Finance for part of the period. Viewing itself as a Government as well as an Army, the IRA was obsessively detailed in its internal accounts. These files contain full monthly accounts such as might be prepared for any business. To take just one example, the summary of accounts dated August 1924, in ledger form, shows monthly case income in various departments totalling £996; expenditure totalling £931, cash balances totalling £64; with comparisons with the previous month under various headings. The expenditure accounts distinguish between monthly and weekly allowances, special grants, travelling expenses, stationary, office rent, postage and telephones, etc., with notes of legal expenses, couriers, tram fares, etc., and even £1.15.0 for purchase of passports, the whole ledger apparently drafted in Sean Mc Bride's hand and signed by him.There are similar accounts for May, June, and July 1923; August - September - October 1924, December, January, February - March - April 1925. There are also monthly accounts for the Chief-of-Staff and some other departments, and some weekly accounts from 1923. The monthly account for January 1925 is signed by Sean Mc Bride, Director of Finance; Frank Aiken, Chief-of-Staff; and M. Colivet, Minister for Finance; that for November 1924 also has these three signatures. There are also detailed accounts for a publishing project "Leabhar na hAiseirghe," Feb. - March 1925; and here and there through the file there are references to an episode where the IRA's Director of Purchasing, who was a Dublin County Council rate-collector, apparently used some of the rates collected for IRA purchases. The IRA had to refund some £400 to the County Council to avoid his prosecution for embezzlement (see letters dated 4 February 1925, 11 Feb. 11925, 7.2.24 (green ink, filed with 1925 papers) etc. )Some of this money was apparently spent in Germany, possibly on purchase of arms. there are also many detailed notes about particular grants and payments, amounts lost due to raids, expenses claimed, various disputed amounts and so on. As a collection manuscript material, w.a.f.It appears that Sean Mc Bride became Director of Finance in early 1925 with a mandate to regularize the accounts, and some of the monthly statements previous to that appear to have been prepared by him retrospectively. There are also some documents in the first file prepared by Austin Stack (1922).* A highly important Archive of documents. None of this detailed information has previously been in the public domain, and it opens an entirely new field for research. (1)
