Letter from John Wood, Governor of the Isle of Man, to the Board of Customs acknowledging receipt of correspondence via Mr Lutwidge dated 23 May 1765. Wood expresses his readiness to execute orders but notes his constraint due to lack of formal directions from either the Crown or the Duke of Atholl regarding necessary post-Revestment measures. This is a critical document showing the transition period immediately after the Revestment Act (passed May 1765) when governance structures were being established.
