This is a letter from William Field (1843–1935) an Irish politician and Irish Parliamentary Party MP for the St. Patrick’s division, to Augustine Birrell (1850-1933), the chief secretary for Ireland. The letter is written after the death of the former chief crown solicitor Sir Malachy Kelly (1850-1916). The letter concerns the application to the position of chief crown solicitor by Charles P. O' Neill (b. 1867), an Irish solicitor and member of the Irish Parliamentary Party. In the letter Field discusses O'Neill's position as as chairman of the Pembroke district of Dublin and asks that his application be given favorable consideration.
