This facsinating letter is written in Edward Hain's own hand.

 

In this particular correspondance, one of many, he is negotiating where to put a new road with a neighbour.

 

The interesting part on this page, is his diagram, which references the 'mine heaps' - also discussed in the letter's written content.

 

The mine heaps he discusses still exist in Treloyhan today giving his correspondance great current sigificance & tangibility
