Letters to John Wilson Lynch, mainly relating to the tenants' demands for a reduction of rent in 1885-6, legal proceedings taken against some of the tenants and the fixing of rents for a second statutory term of 15 years in 1898-1901. These letters also contain references to payments of family annuities and the interest on the loan from the Presentation Nuns out of the estate rents, as well as to other estate and farming matters.

Two series of letters are from John Wilson Lynch's land agents John Brady and A W Hazell. The agents' covering letters sent with the rentals should also be consulted and the agents' letters for the Duras estate as sometimes the agent referred to events on both estates in the one letter. John Brady ceased to be agent by September 1886, as John Wilson Lynch considered he had been negligent with regard to the collection of rents and legal costs. Captain Charles O'Callaghan had provided security for John Brady's employments and there is a series of letters from O'Callaghan and his solicitor, relating to this matter. Other solicitor's letters concern ejectment proceedings and there are letters from Annie McNamara, the housekeeper, and John Murphy, the bailiff. A number of letters refer to an agrarian outrage on the estate, when John Murphy's wife was shot in December 1885.

A separate subsection relates to the grazing farm at Ballycullen. John Wilson Lynch's notes and lists relating to the fixing and collecting of rents are included as the last subsection. All letters are written to John Wilson Lynch unless otherwise stated.
