William Blathwayt was a civil servant and politician who established the War Office
as a department of the British Government and played an important part in
administering the Thirteen Colonies of North America.
A retained copy, entirely in Blathwayt's hand, to a Col. Morgan. Blathwayt says he
hopes tents have arrived in the West Indies, that the Fusiliers are at Spithead, and
reports that the Duke of Ormonde will command the expedition about to be launched
against Spain.
