Item 7 - Charles O'Malley to Richard, 2nd Earl of Lucan

3pp

Letter (no 42) from Charles O'Malley to Richard 2nd Earl, care of Messrs Coutts, readdressed to Paris, saying that he still had not heard from him regarding the Kilboyne estate. Provision needs to be made for the remainder of the purchase price. 'As to the election we are making your Lordship's interest as effective as possible' despite 'the exertions of the Brownes' who are afraid that James Browne will be the one unseated 'and are endeavouring to work the Protestant interest against Lord B'. He recommends that the Earl and [George Charles] Lord Bingham procure leave of absence for Major Charles FitzGerald 'I know his value from the election of 13 & 14'. He refers again to the registernig of voters aznd hopes Lord Bingham's power of attorney is valid. The Bishop's rent has long since been paid.
