While in Cork saw J. Sullivan several times, also J. Hynes and Eliza Goold. The will of Kitty, leaving all she possessed to Eliza Goold except for a small provision for Ellen, is a bone of bitter contention - from the keeness [sic] with which J. S. and Eliza G. pursue the matter, alledging [sic] that Kitty was insensible when she made the will, I infer that the reports of J. Sullivan being in an embarassed [sic] state are well founded.
