War Office 3 Dec. 1779
Gentlemen –
Lord
Barrington, my preceptor in the War Office, having approved of the Sum of
Eighty Guinees to be allowed to Colonel Ainslie for his trouble, of the
Sixpence he was just to in superintending the artillery and remount horses of
the 17th Regiment of Light
dragoons at Fortsmouth in the year 1776. I am to desire you will be pleased to pay the Sum of Eighty Guinees to
Colonel Ainslie, and charge the same against any account that many remain as
present unsettled of the 17th Regiment of Light Dragoons.
I
am Gent
Mefs.
C. Jenkinson
