Treasurer Godolphin to the Earl of Galway. Having heard
frequent complaints that the Forces under her Majesty's pay in
Portugal (notwithstanding the recruits sent thither) have been all
along and still are considerably defective of the numbers intended
by the Treaty and which are provided for by the Establishment,
I cannot but observe to you that in all Mr. Fox's memorials the
subsistence for same has been demanded as though they were complete
and the money has been imprested to him accordingly. Further
by all the muster rolls yet returned the respits appear inconsiderable
which makes it very much suspected that her Majesty has paid for
more Troops than have really been effective. Please strictly enquire
into this. Out Letters (General) XVIII, pp. 16-17.
