8,9,10 August 2008 - visited National Library, RDS and Horse Show. Photographer Ed Ross will restore 2 photos one of Gortgowan, Moville and the other of Cochrane group meeting Lord Shaftesbury c 1900. Letter thanks Capt Cochrane for the hospitality he showed Shafterbury. Letter date not clear and unsure if Cochrane or Shafterbury are in the photo. I think one person in the group looks like a member of the Moville business family of McCandless, who owned a shop at the top of the town near old ESB office. Crowded photo with lots of history. Shaftesbury gives Belfast Castle as his address.
