Source
5 July 1824

Letter from McCrone (likely a factor or estate manager) to the Duke of Atholl regarding the state of Lhen (Lhan Moar) Mill on the Isle of Man. McCrone requests approval for £200 in repairs (wheel, machinery, stones, walls, roof, floors) to restore the mill to profitability, citing a prospective tenant willing to pay £81 annual rent. The letter reflects post-Revestment estate management and revenue challenges on the island.
