[illegible?] 22?

Sir,
In reply to your favor of the 18th inst. I regret
to say that I cannot furnish you with any
authentic documents respecting the corporate
history of Cashel - What few there are, being kept
most strictly private, for corrupt purposes. -- during the late municipal inquiry, several old
charters, such as Henry IIIrd Richard IIIrd Elizabeth,
Charles & J the IInd were talked of, but not produced,
(Except that of Charles) - there is a most intelligent
gentleman resident in Cashel, who has deeply studied
this subject, and will, I am sure, greatly assist your
researches on all subjects. - I mean Mr. John OBrien
