Letter from Governor John Wood to an unnamed Lord (likely Treasury Minister) dated 15 April 1766, complaining of lack of salary and funds since the Isle of Man became vested in the Crown on 17 May 1765. Wood details expenses incurred for Crown business (King's Arms, military transport) undertaken at personal cost and notes that public entertainments have also been defrayed from his own pocket. Directly relevant to the immediate administrative challenges following the 1765 Revestment.
