T 1/440/332 - No regular mail boat

There being no regular Pacquet from this Island makes the receipt of a letter uncertain which is the reason I take the liberty to inclose a Duplicate of one I had the honour to write you the 29th ultimo relating the Troops, I would be much oblig'd my letters hereafter were forwarded by way of Whitehaven that being the most speedy and safe conveyance - One I received from Mr Lowndes dated the 23d Septr by way of Liverpool, I did not receive until the 24th ultimo
I am etc Chas Lutwidge
Douglas 2d Novr 1765

Notes

A fortnightly Packet service, to & from Whitehaven was started around Christmas 1765
