Ms. copy letter from E. White, 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin to The Registrar, Estate Duty Office, Dublin, concerning four assessments of duties which he has brought before Mr. Stubbs the examiner, in the case of the sales of the Marlay and Bury estates and the Pilkington Estate. In order to compensate for a deficiency of money in court of £1100, White proposes to pay a total of £1765.6.4 arising out of sold and unsold estate duties and deducting them form the funds in court, with the balance of £70 which the examiner is to pay to the Inland Revenue. Whites also request the Registrar to state in writing that the Pilkington head rent is covered by the assessments and that he approves of the course being adopted.

Typescript letter from E. White [ 16 Molesworth Street, Dublin] to Ernest H. Browne, esquire, Tullamore, county Offaly, concerning a deduction of the sum of £5006 by the Commissioner of Valuation off land stock of sold land in Marlay Estate, which he describes as being a “very considerable gain to Bury”. White trusts that the estate duty officials will not contest the reduction. He also makes reference to an increase of £930 in the valuation of Ronaldson’s, Shaw’s and Persse’s holdings, “owing to the fines which the Leases disclosed had been paid”, and informs Browne that he is sending a copy of the letter to Bury directly.

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”.
