Letter from Duke of Atholl denying intent to sell Isle of Man, 18 July 1764
Source
18 July 1764
A letter from the Duke and Duchess of Atholl to Dan Mylrea, denying rumours that they intend to sell the Isle of Man to the British government. The Duke states no application has been made by government for such a sale. This document is significant as it predates the actual Revestment by less than a year and shows the Duke's public denial of sale intentions just before negotiations began.
