Source
21 March 1766

Official correspondence from the Duke of Grafton (Secretary of State) to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury regarding Royal approval for barracks construction in the Isle of Man. The letter approves plans for Castle Rushen and Castletown barracks but confirms that stables are unnecessary as horses are being withdrawn from the island. Reflects post-Revestment military organisation and royal control of Manx defence.
