Letter from newly appointed Governor Edward Smith to Lord North (First Lord of the Treasury) requesting a portrait of King George III and furnishings for the chapel at Castle Rushen. Written just after the 1765 Revestment, this document illustrates post-Revestment administrative arrangements and the symbolic establishment of Crown authority on the island through religious and ceremonial institutions.
