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.
