Scope and content
Volumes containing carbon copies of letters sent by J. G. Palling (1869-1880), Frederick J. Justice (1869-75, 1880-1902), H. P. Williams (1897-1905) and G. P. Mitchell-Innes (1903-1905), all of the Tredegar estate office, Newport. Besides AEC 1/1 and 1/3, which are Frederick Justice's letter books for the period Aug. 1869-Aug. 1875, the volumes (with a missing volume covering Nov. 1890-July 1891) form a single chronological sequence of volumes, passing from one agent to the next. H. P. Williams was possibly the agent's deputy or clerk, and possibly acting agent in 1902-1903, between the death of Colonel Justice and the appointment of Mitchell-Innes. Typewritten letters first appear in Dec. 1902.
