Catalogue Entry: MINT00732
Holograph draft memorandum, closely related to MINT00729 (Mint 19/3/542-3) and possibly a variant draft of it: 'Considerations upon the contracting with Cornwall for Tin'
Contents
Discusses the question of whether King George should renew the contract made by the tin-mine owners of Devon and Cornwall with Queen Anne. Any renewal, even on modified terms, is likely to entail a severe loss to the Crown, but this must be weighed against the danger of causing unrest in Cornwall.
