Item note: "Dear Sir William Though I wrote to you so lately I trouble you with a few lines to give you further plague by the servant who accompanies the little infant. ... I wish you would send Burkes aconomical bill with his speech on the occasion and any other political pamphlet you think worth while. If yr Brother happens to be acquainted with any of the commanding officers at present in the Leeward Islands could you persuade him to give a letter of strong recommendation to a very spirited protegé of mine, Marcus Pietet a captain in Robinsons battalion of Royal Americans..." signed "God bless you My Dear Sir Wm from yr affecte friend Mountstuart."Sir William's brother, Richard Howe, earl Howe (1726-1799) was vice-admiral in 1780.
