Correspondence, originally bundled as 'Glamorganshire Letters', relating to routine estate administration, such as leases, rents, heriots, royalties and tithes, initially being for the most part letters from the steward of the estate, but increasingly also from bailiffs, gentry, ironmasters, clergy, mineral surveyors, officers of the militia, government ministers, applicants for various posts and other individuals. Most of the bundles of letters relate to the Glamorgan estate, although letters and bundles of letters relating to other estates are also present. The correspondence also contains reports on affairs in the county and boroughs of Glamorgan, including the Commission of the Peace and the Glamorgan Militia, and also comments on the local and national economy, politics, and events.
