Scope and Contents
Many of the subjects discussed are similar to those in MS.9932: Letter-book of Admiral Sir George Berkeley containing correspondence with Viscount (later 1st Duke of) Wellington, but they also include co-operation with the Portuguese authorities, protection of trade, and the sale of Danish ships in Oporto. There are numerous complaints against the Commissary-General's department, and against American captains encouraging British seamen to desert.
