- Name
- James Clarke to Peel and Hobhouse on Duke of Atholl's visit and governance tensions
- Description
- Three private letters from James Clarke (Attorney General of the Isle of Man) dated March 1822 to Henry Hobhouse (Home Office), Robert Peel (Home Secretary), and the Duke of Atholl. Clarke reports on the Duke's financial difficulties (£40,000 loan), warns of tensions between the Duke and the House of Keys, and expresses concern about the Duke's hostility toward Parliamentary legislation binding the Island (particularly corn importation law). Clarke seeks approval for a summer visit and refuses the Duke's demand for an immediate March visit.
