        Original incoming and copy outgoing letters relating to management of the Charleville estate. Matters referred to include: lodgement of Power of Attorney granted to Ernest Browne by Charles Bury for dealings with the Charleville Estate and Land Commission; Charles Bury consideration to appeal a decision by inland revenue to the House of Lords and ultimate decision to not appeal; information on the Mechanical Transport Section of the ASC [Army Service Corps] under the War Office; income tax deducted by Messrs Stapleton for the Tore and Belvedere Estate; sale of the Three Blacks, Athlone; attempt to resist a tenant's application to redeem the rent of La Mancha, Mullingar and contentions that this holding should not be affected by the Land Act.

        Includes letter from Captain Charles Bury to E White "Browne will have written to you I expect about the Appeal. My opinion is that under existing circumstances we ought not to carry it on to the House of Lords and I know that Lord Lansdowne agrees with me. If it had not been for the war and the growing scarcity of money, I should have liked very much to go on with it and I daresay we might proved successful, but at present the risk is too great. My present chauffeur is very anxious to join the Irish Motor Transport. Can he do this and what steps must he take? He is a good driver and mechanic and comes from Geashill; his name is Donaldson.

        Original incoming and copy outgoing letters relating to management of the Charleville estate.

        Includes copy of letter from Office of Public Works to Charleville Estate Office, " We have read your letter dated 1st instant regarding the compensation amounting to £341.4.0 awarded in full discharge of all claims by Lady E H Bury arising out of the military occupation of Charleville Castle, Tullamore. Of this award the sum of £100 allowed in respect of structural damage was arrived at by arrangement between local officer, Mr Shortall, and Mr Bouchier, by whom no doubt our reasons for reducing your claim for £141.9.7 under this heading were fully accepted... The assessment of £30 in connection with the use of the electric plant covers all charges in connection therewith. It must be borne in mind that at the beginning of the occupation by the Army the electric plant was not in working order until the military officers had the engine and dynamo overhauled and that the plant was not used continuously by the Army during the occupation. We are satisfied after the most exhaustive inquiries that our allowance for the consumption of coal is fair and reasonable...(23 November 1927).

        Original incoming and copy outgoing letters relating to management of the Charleville estate. Matters referred to includes: letter to Rev G Cooney on the arrangements that the new factory on the gaol premises will not require either the front or side walls to be demolished; the conveyance of premises in Tullamore by Salts Ireland Ltd for use as a factory; subscriptions from various individuals and businesses in Tullamore towards the new factory; draft agreement between Esther Molloy, Rev Gerald Cooney, Rev Eric Rennison, John Williams, Francis J Egan, Henry F Brenan, Joseph Kearney, Joseph Clarke, Michael English, Michael Walsh, John Horgan, Thomas J Lawless for the transfer of lands in Spollinstown [Spollanstown] for the purpose of erecting a factory within Tullamore; attempt to trace the title to premises in Church Street, Tullamore (former King's County Infirmary) by solicitors for Offaly County Council.

        Includes copy of letter to Colonel Howard Bury about the Salts Ltd factory in Tullamore, "As you have probably heard a new company is being formed in Ireland for the purpose of promoting a spinning factory in this town, and it will be a most important industry, and will give a very considerable amount of employment. There was great difficulty in getting the factory here because there were at least a dozen other towns in the Saorstat who were trying to get it established. As a result, however, of the efforts of various people Tullamore has succeeded. When the English gentlemen who are interested in the promotion of this factory originally interviewed some representative people here in this town they stipulated that they would not consider Tullamore unless they could get the land which they required at a price not exceeding £60 per acre. They pointed out that they could get land for this figure in other parts of the country, and indeed in some places they could get it for nothing. This shows the anxiety there was to get this factory. It was necessary to give an undertaking required, but eventually when negotiations were entered into between the local committee, of which I am Honorary Secretary, with the owners of certain of the lands to be acquired, it was found that considerably larger sums per acre would have to be paid for at least some of the land which was wanted. There are some other claims also which have to be met... (6 July 1937).
