Typescript letter from E. White, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin to Colonel Howard Bury, Dereen Lodge, Kenmare, county Kerry, informing the latter that what they have accomplished “settles all the questions of amount of Duty”. He confirms that the duty payment on the sold lands is to be paid by eight annual instalments, two of which have already been paid, and suggests to Colonel Bury that it will “save [him] trouble” to have the six remaining instalments paid out of the funds retained in court, “though, of course, the Find was retained primarily for the Duty on the sold lands”. White also explains that his role has simply been to watch over the proceedings and hasten them on, and is not carrying out the sale of the lands for the tenants, “as this was placed in Messrs. Mason’s hands by the late Mr. Marlay … for payments of a substantial fee in lieu of Costs”, and Bury would have incurred considerable losses if White took over as a result. White concludes with an encouraging note that Mr. Mason is hurrying on the proceedings for sale of the outstanding holdings as much as possible”.
