Letter from Sir Horace Brand Farquhar to Spencer Compton Cavendish, 8th Duke of Devonshire

Scope and Content

Horace Farquhar's writes concerning the improvement in the price of pig iron. He further writes apologising to SCC for "bothering" him with "the enclosed letter" [not enclosed] however "it was a great disappointment in [18]92". He also writes concerning his claims to peerage, hoping that he is now "a good first favourite now!". Sent from: Mar Lodge. See also CS8/2462-8. [The letter is dated 1892: but the text of the letter makes it clear that this is an error, perhaps suggested by the writer's frequent references to the events of 1892.]
