Letters from tenants on the Duras estate, to John Wilson Lynch, Belvoir, Sixmilebridge, Co. Clare, petitioning him to reduce their rents for a second term of 15 years. They list crop failure, a reduction in prices, and the cost of purchasing artificial manure as the main causes of their inability to pay. They wish to come to a mutual agreement with John Wilson Lynch, rather than apply to the sub-Land Commissioners to fix a fair rent. Some letters include a note of John Wilson Lynch's reply.
