- Letters from Governor John Wood to Secretary of State, 1766: Revestment administrative issues
- Description
- A batch of official correspondence from Governor John Wood of the Isle of Man to the Secretary of State and Treasury officials, covering July–December 1766. Wood addresses critical post-Revestment administrative problems: separation of civil and manorial records and duties, payment of officers and salaries, housing and maintenance of government buildings, and requests for Treasury funding mechanisms. The letters reveal the practical difficulties of implementing the 1765 Revestment and the financial strain on the newly established Crown administration.
