Scóp agus InneacharTRANSCRIPT:
'The Mountain Rangers have called on me to say all the tenants of Ballinree have claimed a right from you to cut an unlimited quantity of Black Turf. Your father gave them liberty of turf but it was confined to Top Turf, except in a few instances. There are more houses on the denomination of Ballinree than on the remainder of the Estate, for several poor people take a house and garden, for the sole purpose of cutting turf....which they afterwards sell to pay their rents, the Haleys of Castlepook have become your Tenants for no other purpose...should those Tenants be not restrained, in a few years you will not have a sod of turf, for every denomination should have a bog, and if the great number of your Tenants in a few years run through your bog, it would not be fair to trespass on the Bog of another, who has an equal right, with the best respects to Mrs White, dear James, very truly yours, NG Evans'.
