Governor Wood requests £1000 salary payment from Treasury Lords
Source
14 March 1772
Letter from Governor John Wood of the Isle of Man to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, dated 14 March 1772, requesting immediate payment of £1000 against his overdue salary of over £1300. Wood notes that Receiver General Lutwidge had advised in October and November 1771 that he awaited Treasury directions for payment, but no response was received. The letter demonstrates post-Revestment administrative friction and salary payment difficulties faced by the Governor.
