Letter from Mary Wilson, Middleton [Co. Cork] to John O'Donnell, her solicitor, apologising for not being in when he called. She thought that the job of a solicitor was to pub his client's wishes into a legal form. She comments that she is only trying to carry out her husband's wishes, which were that 'Belvoir House, pleasure grounds, chapel etc should be a standing memorial of his taste and judgement in its improvement'. To let it would defeat this object. She reiterates the clauses she wants in the agreement. She states that she will be staying for a week at Tallow, Co. Waterford, before returning to Kingstown, [Co. Dublin].

Letter from E T Stapleton, relating to a judgement mortgage and the mortgage for £6,000. Both these mortgages were charges on the Belvoir estate and needed to be valued by a notary public.

Letter from E T Stapleton, sending 'our' account as requested and two accounts which were to be charged to John Wilson Lynch 'we presume they will be paid by the respective parties'. He will be glad to hear that the letters from [Malom] are most cheering. [see LE6/A/62].

Letters from Edward T Stapleton, to John Wilson Lynch, relating to the purchase by Rev Sir William Ross Mahon, Co Galway, of the head rent of Lissyegan, Ahascragh, Co. Galway, which the Lynchs had originally bought for £2,000 [see LE6/B/543]. The head rent was sold for £3,396.18.2. which was used to pay off a mortgage of £6,000 held by Rt Hon Michael Morris and Charles Granby Burke on Roo demesne and other lands. The letters also refer to succession duty due after the death of Mary Wilson in 1875 [see LE6/A/33] and a new loan of £6,000 from Mr Ussher. The letters from Edward T Stapleton were in 2 envelopes entitled 'Sale of Lyssyegan and payment of loan (£6,000) to George Morris' [LE6/Q/34-39] and 'Belvoir succession duty on Aunt Wilson's jointure and loan of £6,000 on Belvoir' [LE6/A/40-53].

Letter from E T Stapleton, in which he writes that the delay is due to Sir Ross Mahon, whose solicitors are waiting for instructions as to whether the conveyance is to be made to a trustee or to himself. They hope John Ross Mahon, who arrives in Dublin the next day, will be able to help them.

Letter from E T Stapleton, asking if John Wilson Lynch has been able to procure any of the deeds he requested.

In a postscript her writes that he is glad to hear the children are all better. [see LE6/A/54].
