Letter from Browne to Mulock: "You ask me if I find same difficulty on other estate, Yes, I most certainly do. You may remember the old saying 'The poor are ever with us'. I regret to state that the bad paying tenant is also always with the unfortunate Landlord... My experience is that once a tenant from whatever cause it may be gets hard up, he is always pulling the Devil by the tail and in spite of good times he never able to satisfy all his Creditors. I only wish I had every estate as well paid as your estate is". (11 January 1918).
