Letter from Governor John Wood to an unnamed Lord (likely Treasury official) dated 15 April 1766, detailing his financial hardships and lack of salary since the Isle of Man vested in the Crown on 17 May 1765. Wood describes various expenses he has undertaken on behalf of the Crown, including provision of King's Arms for courts and churches, and a vessel for military transport, all unreimbursed. The letter illustrates the administrative chaos and financial neglect following the 1765 Revestment.
