Letter on lack of regular packet boat service from Isle of Man

Source
2 November 1765

Brief administrative letter from Charles Lutwidge (likely Lieutenant Governor) to an unnamed correspondent, dated 2 November 1765, complaining about the absence of a regular mail packet service from the Isle of Man and requesting that future correspondence be routed via Whitehaven. The letter references earlier correspondence regarding troops and notes the poor reliability of mail delivery via Liverpool. Provides context for communications infrastructure challenges during the immediate post-Revestment period.
