Duke of Atholl applies for Governorship of Isle of Man to Lord Grenville
Source
12 February 1791
A letter from the Duke of Atholl to Lord Grenville (12 February 1791) requesting appointment as Governor of the Isle of Man with salary. Atholl emphasises his attachment to the island, his intention to reside there quarterly, and his ability to prevent smuggling and illicit practices that damage Crown revenues. This is highly relevant to post-Revestment governance and the Crown's continued concerns about smuggling on the island.
