Letter (no. 41) from Charles O'Malley to RIchard 2nd Earl, care of Messrs Coutts, readdressed to Paris, stating that he had received 'Your Lordship's letter' from which he realizes that the Earl had not received many of his letters. Hr rewrites much of the previous letter and that he will not pay off Miss Lindsey's bond, as the Earl may change his mind when he hears about the Kilboyne purchase. His son St Clair O'Malley is active in getting the minor interests to register 'but we must find the stamps for many of them'. He will not be able to pay the interest in the middle of November and May, the interest payable to the Earl's daughters takes precedence. Col. Cuffe regrets that he is so committed to the Browne party.

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.

Letter (no 6) from Charles O'Malley to RIchard, 2nd Earl, care of Messrs Coutts, Strand, London, informing him that [George Charles] Lord Bingham gained great ground in the assizes and Sir Neal O'Donnel has come out in support of him 'he will come in without in fact any expense'. He is sending over his account, which dates back to July 1833, with Lord Bingham, who is shortly leaving for London. The arrears will appear heavy due to the hardship of 1822, when 'people were only kept alive by the bounty of English generosity and the assistance and forbearance of their landlords'. There are still a number of holdings lying waste since that time and a large proportion of arrears are insolvent.

Letter (no 15) from Charles O'Malley to Richard, 2nd Earl, answering queries in the Earl's letter to him. He writes that Mr. Livesay [solicitor] expects 'a good title will be made out by Nov to the Kilboyne estate' and that [George Charles] Lord Bingham made every effort to keep his election expenses as small as he could. Lord Bingham's determination to make a stiff contest with three candidates led to the withdrawl of Dominick Browne. The remains of the £1000 borrowed from Mr Boyd to pay the election expenses will not cover the Clerk of the Peace's fees for registering freeholders. He cannot lament the expense of the election when 'it has occasioned such a triumph for your son'. He writes that at the assizes Lord Bingham is being an excellent foreman [of the Grand Jury] and 'a decided enemy to the system of lobbying'.

Letter from Charles O'Malley to Richard, 2nd Earl, Albany, Piccadilly, London, readdressed to Paris, relating to financial matters and a case between Sir Neal O'Donel and Major O'Malley. He writes of a possible fall off in electoral support for [George Charles] Lord Bingham since 'the priesthood and Lord Sligo have made friends'. He recommends that Lord Bingham spends some time in Co. Mayo. He cannot believe that Sir Neal O'Donel, who had come to live at Newport, had declared publicly in favour of James and Dominick Browne at the next election 'after his property having been saved by your Lordship'. He writes of the great sensation in every county caused by the unexpected change in ministry.
