Pat Purcell Papers

Rudolph Erich Raspe 1795


Undated letter from Jeffery Wandesforde of Sussex Court, London addressed to Pat Purcell [circa 1930s, the following is abbreviated from a six page letter].

 Your name was given to me by the County Hall in Carlow as a person that might possibly help me trace information on Rudolph Erich Raspe who lived in Carlow during the 1790s.  
He went to Ireland following the gold find in county Wicklow where he lived at Avoca near Wicklow town. He was living in Carlow in 1793 where he is recorded from family letters as living in Painstown. He was associated with the Wandesforde mining enterprises in the area. He is next recorded as visiting the Mint Office in Cork City to assess finds from the area, he contracted cholera and died at Muckross in 1795. He was well known as the author of The Fabulous Adventures of the Baron Munchausen. Any assistance you can give will be much appreciated.
