Letter from Governor John Wood to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury dated 14 March 1772, requesting payment of overdue salary (£1300+) by drawing a draft for £1000 on John Drummond & Co. Wood notes that Charles Lutwidge, the Receiver General, had refused payment without Treasury directions in October 1771 and November 1771, but has provided no further communication. The document illustrates post-Revestment administrative difficulties and tensions between the Governor and the absentee Receiver General.
