Dn. had a grant from the Irish Parliament of 1000 £ pr. annum which from not havg. been recommended by Governmt. here was not bestw’d upon me. I presume to make only one remark, was it the intention or not of His Majesty’s Governmt. to place my rewards for services lower than Ld. St. Vt. or Ld. Dn. I had the happiness to be a sharer of the Glory of the 14th Febry. I had the honour to command the fleet who found the victory of the Nile [which] was I believe the most compleat one ever obtained…till that off Copenhagen’. An interesting and unusual document.
