Robert Hiorne Hobbes; Letter to Llanrwst Shareholders

Description

Printed letter from Alfred Endean to fellow shareholders, proposing an extension to mining operations, to be funded by a share proposal, restricted to existing shareholders. A view of the surface works at Llanrwst mine is circulated with this letter (see DR444/4/1/3/9/4).

Reference is also made in the letter to a report commissioned by Endean from a mining engineer, Captain William Richards (see DR444/4/1/3/9/3).

Endean makes reference in this letter to the low price for ore and the reasons for withholding ore from the markets.
