Scope & Content: A manuscript letter from Lieutenant Governor Shaw, lamenting to the Duke of Atholl on the difficulty protecting the Isle of Man from possible raids, as the troops available are insufficient and it would be unwise to disperse them in the way he is asked to do, particularly as there are some amongst the residents who would be willing to help any Irishman who might try to land.
