No. 17, Military

Requisition having been made upon me for the sum of
Three Thousand Pounds (£3000) on Military Account to meet the
Colonial Pay and Rations of the Troops for the months of January and
February, I have authorized the Treasurer to procure that sum
by Bills on Her Majesty's Paymaster General and I have to
request your Grace will be pleased to obtain the necessary
authority from the Lords Commissoners of the Treasury for
the Bills presented on this account to be paid when they become due.
