[Rev] Jonathan Boucher, Paddington, [Eng.] to W[illia]m Eden, Undersecretary of State, 27 June 1776 Copy; original in Public Record Office. 4 pp. Copy of Autograph Letter Signed. (A/4/2a). As it is difficult for a gentleman who has been used to better circumstances to learn to live on 70 p.a., he solicits Eden's good offices with Lord George [Germain] for a further supply of money. He claims no special merit for his actions in America, but others who have done less have received pensions. He would like to be commended to Lord Dartmouth, the Abp. of Canterbury and the Bps. of London and Bangor, and hopes that Eden may be able to help him to preferment in America when a settlement is reached.
