Name

Duke of Atholl to Governor Cochrane regarding Isle of Man affairs, 30 January 1753

Description

Letter from the Duke of Atholl to Governor Cochrane discussing parliamentary matters, ecclesiastical appointments, customs and trade issues, and the settlement of disputes with the Keys (Manx parliament). The letter's explicit denial that Parliament has mentioned 'the sale of the Isle of Man or leasing the Customs' is of particular significance to the Revestment project, as it predates the 1765 purchase by 12 years and shows contemporary awareness of these potential transactions.
