A letter from Hugh Cosnahan in Douglas, Isle of Man, to George Farquher, discussing the appointment of Captain Small as Collector, the Duke of Atholl's presence in London to claim rights and compensation, and the visit of House of Keys deputies to solicit the King's confirmation of laws. Cosnahan requests Farquher's assistance in obtaining a position on the island. This document sheds light on post-Revestment (1765) governance, the Duke's continued interests in the island, and the House of Keys' relationship with Westminster.
