Source
25 July 1764

Official letter from the Treasury to the Duke of Atholl (or similar noble with rights in Man) proposing to purchase the Isle of Man or rights therein under powers granted by Act 12 of George I. The letter addresses the problem of illegal commerce between Man and other British dominions, requests a formal proposal with valuation, and threatens alternative action if the Duke refuses to negotiate.
