Coole household accounts
Augusta Gregory (1852–1932)
Household accounts
1921
As Gregory’s income from publications and performances declined during her last decade, maintaining Coole became increasingly challenging. Her papers include numerous jottings showing her anxiously calculating her monthly and annual expenses. She sold artworks and books to raise funds, wrote with potential income more firmly in mind, and reduced her expenses where possible. Here we see her tally essential costs—labor, coal, insurance, rates, and taxes—and also wonder what will be left over for “journeys, clothing, presents, charity?”
