Extract of a letter from Governor Wood to the Earl of Suffolk (Secretary of State), dated 8 January 1774, detailing his grievance over four years of arrears on his £600 annual salary. Wood describes his attempts to obtain payment through the Receiver General and the Board of Treasury, noting that the Treasury claimed no fund existed despite considerable importations generating revenue. The letter illustrates post-Revestment administrative dysfunction and tension over financial procedures on the Isle of Man.
