Upon receipt of your Lordship's Letter of the 4th Inst signifying His Majesty's
pleasure that Two Troops of Hales Dragoons & the Regiment of Foot under
the Command of Major General Montagu be immediately completed by Draught to
the Irish Establishment & embarked for the Isle of Man. We issued the proper

compleat Camp Equipment and we have the honor of informing your Ldp that General
Sandford, who has now the Command of his Mjys Forces here, being of opinion,

which they are to be in Dublin on the 24th Inst against which time the shipping
& all other Necessaries will be ready for their Embarkation, & it is
proposed that they shall embark at Douglas.
We are with great Truth &c
