[Letter from Daniel Mylrea to Duke of Atholl, 10 September 1764]

My Lord

Your Graces favour of the 27^th ult came yesterday to hand, acknowledging the receit of the last remittance of thirteen hundred pounds Brit, and requiring a particular of the tythe money remitted.

In the last revenue book your Grace will find a full acct stated and settled at the audit holden on the 26^th Sept 1763 Since which there have been but three sums remitted on account of the tyhe vizt

1763 Decr 27	£35 0 0	part of the remittance of £1100
1764 March 8^th	13 6 7¾	part of the remittance of 1500
Augt 18^th	25 15 4	part of the remittance of 1300
which makes Brit	74 1 11¾	and manx £86 8 11¾

It is with great concern I am to acquaint your Grace that the late proclamation relative to this Isle has greatly alarmed the merchts - and the herring fishery is not so successfull as could be wished, but it is to be hoped things will take a more happy turn

I am with the utmost duty

My Lord your Graces most obedient and most humble servant

Dan Mylrea

Castletown 10^th Septr 1764
