| Title | Letter from John W. Ponsonby, Baron Duncannon of Bessborough, [later 4th Earl of Bessborough], Bessborough House, County Kilkenny, Ireland, to Henry Pelham-Clinton, 4th Duke of Newcastle under Lyne; 9 Nov. 1836 |
| Content Description | Says he regrets that he is unable to comply with the duke's wishes regarding the 'arrangements in Wales' [regarding the mineral rights over the Hafod estate] and now regarding the Newark manors; says all sales are made by public auction, and since he has held that office, he has never known things to be done differently; would take great pleasure in complying with the duke's wishes, particularly with regard to the Welsh estates 'where I am well aware that the search for minerals must be most inconvenient'. |
