Scope and Content

Copy letter from Downpatrick, Ireland, to Thomas Williams, attorney of Brecon, Brecknockshire, informing him of Coke's decision to move permanently to the United States.

He asks that Williams wind up Coke's remaining financial interests, namely the Coyty mortgage, and his accounts with Howell at the 'Shoulder of Mutton'. He also states his intention to resign his place on the Brecon Common Council.

Coke declares that because of his considerable expenditure on behalf of the Connexion, there is little of his personal fortune remaining, although he values his library at between £200 and L300.
