ES1119 Letter from William Goodall [the male teacher] to the Board complaining of Mrs Chambers, the mother of the Schoolmistress at Antrim. Goodall and his wife refuse to speak to her because of her 'repeated drunkenness'. 'The Sabbath is desecrated by the violence of her tongue through drink and I have seen her fall on the street of Antrim near the School house', 19 August 1875.

ES1118 Another letter of the same day from the Rev. Holmes explains that the families of the master and mistress in Antrim are hostile towards each other.
