Letter from Governor John Wood to an unnamed peer (likely the Lord Lieutenant or Secretary of State) dated 15 April 1766, complaining of non-payment of salary and funds since 17 May 1765 (the date of the Revestment). Wood details various Crown expenses he has personally undertaken, including provision of King's Arms for courthouses and payment for troop transport from the Queen's Royal Regiment. The letter illustrates the Crown's neglect of administrative arrangements immediately following the purchase of sovereignty.
