Two letters from the Duke of Atholl to Charles Yorke (Home Office, Northern Department) dated 7 December 1803. The formal letter requests resignation as Governor-in-Chief of the Isle of Man in favour of his brother Lord Henry Murray. The confidential letter details Atholl's frustrations after 25 years of conflict following the 1765 Revestment, citing constitutional tensions between his authority as Governor and the Lieutenant Governor's independent influence, particularly regarding internal taxation and military appointments.
