Governor Wood's appeal for salary arrears payment, 14 March 1772
Source
14 March 1772
Two letters from Governor John Wood to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury and to an unnamed Lord, requesting payment of £1,300+ in accumulated salary arrears and drawing a bill for £1,000 to meet expenses. The document reveals post-Revestment financial difficulties, the absence of Receiver General Lutwidge from the island, and systemic failures in the payment of civil officers. A related warrant from March 1768 is also included.
