Breconshire estate: correspondence subject files

Tredegar Breconshire estate letters and other papers relating to specific subjects that created substantial quantities of correspondence. Some of the files (ABC 2/2/1-2, 5, 7-8, 10) are original bundles created by the staff of the Tredegar estate office, Brecon. The other files comprise letters that were found loose and would otherwise have become part of the annual files (ABC 2/1), but have been gathered together for convenience.
