Poem copied from English Almanac, 1885. Written on headed notepaper from Charleville Forest, Tullamore.

'The snowdrop in purest white array/first rears her head on Candlemas Day....'

Ms. statement from Lord Tullamore to his sister, Lady Beaujolois Bury, confirming his application for “certain jewels placed in her hands by [his] father”, which Lord Tullamore requires “in consequence of proceeding taken by the [ Investionary] Interest Society to sell [his] life estate in the Charleville Property”. Although Lady Bury considers these jewels as gifts from her father, her brother claims them as family jewels, and indemnifies Lady Bury, her executors and assigns “from all actions suits and proceedings… which shall or may be brought against her”. Witnessed by Catherine Maria Charleville.

Newspaper cuttings from The King's County Chronicle, detailing a public reception highlighting the return of the Earl of Charleville, with the Countess and their daughter, Lady Catherine Bury to the Charleville estate, Tullamore. In residing for a short period on the estate, the Earl had “acquired the estimation and respect of all with whom he came into contact”, and now his declaration to reside permanently on the estate at Charleville, “gave great and general satisfaction”. Preparations were made by the inhabitants “of all ranks, creeds and classes… and unanimous resolutions were passed to give his Lordship and family as cordial and respectful a public reception as they were capable of”. It was also intended, on behalf of the Earl’s tenantry, to invite the family to a banquet, “and also for that of laying before him and the Countess an address of congratulation”.

Newspaper cuttings relating to the protests of the tenantry of Lady Emily Howard Bury, following her serving writs on them. The tenants on the estate at Croghan sought an abatement in their rents, “they having solicited [for same] in the humblest manner”. The Rhode and Croghan branch of the Land League now pledge to fight to the end “thereby showing Lady E. Bury, her agent and the country, what [they] think of an act which [they] have no hesitation in denouncing as unwarranted and unjust”.
Includes an observation that previous to the Land League agitation, the tenants were quite satisfied with their rents “and regarded the Bury family as model landlords”. Includes death of Margaret Tracey, a tenant on the Croghan estate, who had already been issued with a decree against her concerning shop provisions, and who dropped dead when rushing out to intercept a sheriff, whom she mistakenly thought was about to seize her cattle.

Photocopy of letter from William Perkinson, Croghan, to his John Monaghan urging him to inform Pat Devan that his brother Barney is anxiously awaiting confirmation that he is to be brought to America. Describes the destitution of the Croghan area as a result of the famine: 'This is an altered country. Since you left it there is not an old neighbour in Croughan but Martin Burke, Barney Devan and myself.. This country is almost waste. Such as was not able to go to America all died with hunger sooner than give up their places for they would not be taken into the poorhouse until they would give up their place. And that minute their house was thrown down. Others thrown down by the sheriff.'
