PRINGLE
(Robert, died 1793, Lieutenant Colonel, Military Engineer)
Long Autograph Letter Signed to Frederick Booth
saying that he has been told that “the Owners of the Falmouth Coach house offered 20£ by way of compensation for my trunk. I really think I should not accept it I have valued everything very much below what it would cost me to replace them and have always understood, it ever has been customary & several decisions in Westminster Hall have confirmed for Coach Owners to pay the full value of every thing lost in their charge, plate jewels & cash excepted but when entered & paid for as such... Owner of the Coach acknowledges the loss of the trunk & says it was stole out between Hounslow & Bagshot, it was also entered in their Books at the Office in Ludgate hill, & if necessary my servant who went with can make oath with this information. I hope you will be able to recover the amount and that before you conclude anything but that you will do me the favor to let me hear from you. We have begun the war in this Country with success. Tobago was taken on the 15th Utmo by a Detachment from the Governor of Barbados - with the loss of 7 killed and 10 wounded. They refused to surrender when somoned & the fort was taken by storm in a Gallant manner as not a shott was fired from our side till they got into the midst of it. Admiral Gardner arrived with the fleet on the 27th. We only want them to go to Guadeloupe & Martinique where they are in the utmost confusion. The mob have got possession of the Government & Forts, & commit all sorts of cruelties on those planters & their families who they suspect to be of a contrary interest...”, 3 sides 4to., with integral autograph address leaf, St Christophers, 8th May
