| Title | Letter from Rear-Adm. Lord Hood to General Jacob de Budé, reporting the arrival of Prince William on board the 'Barfleur' and enclosing a copy of the instructions concerning him [0726], which he feels is lacking, particularly as regards the Prince's expenses, and he consequently requests assistance from de Bude to clarify this point; remarking that it is unlikely the French squadron will be able to leave Boston before the end of the month; and, in a postscript, commenting further on Prince William's education while on board. |
