Gov. Lindesay to Duke. Stocks of wine have now fallen so low that it is doubtful if vessels coming for it can be supplied. And with none coming in the Revenue has fallen accordingly. If the Duke intends to visit the Island and bring ‘the young ladies’ with him,as he suggests doing Lindesey asks that he may have good notice as there is only one room which can be made available for them. This is large and cold,but he suggests dividing it into two,which would make it warmer,while the smaller portion wouldhold ‘a fieled bed' for their gentlewoman. Also as he has but two beds of his own others will have to be nought from Liverpool or Whitehaven They are so scarce in the Island that they can easily be sold when done with. |
