P. Mitchell Innes with Lord Tredegar for the Hereford rents. Much of AHA 2/1 comprises a day book of receipts and payments relating to the Herefordshire estate, 1903-11, and may be the cash book to straddle the gap between AHA 3/1 and 3/2.

The series comprises rent ledgers 'P', containing ledger accounts relating to rents on the Palleg estate. Many of the properties were sold to Nolton Estates Ltd in 1937.

Collection books, being day books of moneys received on rent days (and between rent days) for the Brecon and Palleg estates.
The ledger and folio to which the individual moneys are forwarded is usually noted, and include ledgers B (Brecon), C, F (Farm rents), P (Palleg) and S. References to ledgers C and S only appear in the first year, 1868, after which they disappear. References to ledger D (Dderw) appear in 1916 (ABA 7/1), and receipts forwarded to ledgers B and F are greatly reduced over the following few years, many Brecon and Farm properties having been sold, although references to ledger F continue until at least 1921, and to ledger B until at least 1923. References to ledger T (Therrow? =Dderw) appear in 1921, although there are also a few references to a ledger T in 1888 at least. ABA 8/4 forwards receipts to ledgers P and T only.

Volumes of press-copies of letters sent by agents of the Cardiff estate, 1877-1906 (AGC 3/1-6) and by Henry John Davis, the Glamorgan estate agent, 1899-1903 (AGC 3/7).

The cash books of the Glamorgan estate set out the sums received and disbursed. Individual payments of rent are not specified. -- The earliest cash book (AGH 1/1, intitled 'Glamorgan estate. Ledger') begins with a copy of the audit between Henry John Davis and Sir Charles Morgan for the Glamorgan estate for 1846. The cash book entries begin on 1 July 1847. After a gap, Jan. 1864-Nov. 1868, between AGH 1/1 and 1/3 (probably represented by a missing volume, as AGH 1/3 opens with a balance that had been carried forward), the series of cash books runs through a change of title to 'Glamorganshire farm rents cash books' (AGH 1/3-5, 8) and 'Glamorganshire agricultural estate' (AGH 1/9-13). The last transactions are in Dec. 1938, and in Feb. 1939 the account was closed and the balance transferred to the 'Monmouthshire agricultural a/c'. -- The cash books for 1850-1859 (AGH 1/2), 1900-1908 (AGH 1/6) and 1903-1908 (AGH 1/7) are not part of the main run of Glamorgan cash books, but have been placed here for conveniece. AGH 1/2 appears to relate to Glamorgan. AGH 1/6-7 are the cash books of W. Henney, and are included with the Glamorgan cash books on the strength of a number of rates and tax demands for the parish of Rhydri enclosed in AGH 1/7.

The Glamorgan estate began to gather rural cottage and farm rents and urban ground rents accounts into separate ledgers almost from the begining of the estate in 1846. However the first ledgers described on their spines as Cardiff ledgers are dated 1893, and these form the first volumes in this series. Their predecessor volumes will be found among the Glamorgan estate ledgers (AGD 1), as will contemporaneous ledgers of ground rents in Splott and Roath while they continue to be described as Glamorgan ground rents. -- The rent ledgers were reorganised in 1925, with two series of loose-leaf volumes intitled Cardiff Urban A to K (AGD 2/27-37), and Glamorgan Urban W to X (AGD 1/27-28) gathering together groups of streets in alphabetical order, A (A-Br), B (Bu-Cl), C (Co-D) etc. Many of the accounts end with the freehold being conveyed, mostly in the period 1955-60, and often to the tenant, but also, for example, to the Cardiff & Co. Superanuation & Benefit Society, Cardiff Corporation, Cossam Investment Co. Ltd, Glam. Estates Ltd, Gwalia Land & Prop. Dev. Ltd, and Valley Properties (Hengoed) Ltd. Notes on the accounts include the deaths of tenants and other changes of tenant, war damage and war damage compensation, and mortgagors. AGD 2/38-40 contain of folios taken out of AGD 2/27-37 and AGD 1/27-28. These folios appear to apply to properties, the freeholds of which were conveyed during the life of the volumes. Most, if not all, of the freeholds were conveyed in the period 1926-52.

Davis in his capacity as mayor of Newport, 1891-1892, including ANC 2/16, no. 200, and ANC 2/18, nos 2-3. -- The letters have been extracted from their original binders.
