- Governor Wood's appeal for unpaid salary arrears, Isle of Man, 1772
- Description
- Two letters from Governor John Wood to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury and an unnamed lord, dated 14 March 1772, concerning unpaid salary arrears exceeding £1300. Wood requests £1000 via bill of exchange drawn on Messrs Drummond & Co, citing administrative dysfunction and the diversion of island revenues to harbour improvements rather than civil establishment payments. The file also includes a related warrant from 1768 for £1400. Documents reveal post-Revestment payment dysfunction and tension between Wood and Receiver General Lutwidge.
