Letter from Bishop Richmond (of Sodor & Man) to the Duke of Atholl dated August 1776, discussing the resolution of legislative uncertainty following the 1765 Revestment. The Bishop reports that Major Dawson (Lieutenant Governor) has directed the 24 Keys to propose necessary laws, which have been approved and returned with Royal Assent, then proclaimed on Tynwald Hill. The letter reflects on public reaction and Manx constitutional settlement in the decade following the British Parliament's purchase of sovereignty.
