Full Description:
Osborn[e] to Mackenzie. 'Royal George' Transport. I enclose as satisfactory an answer to your letter of yesterday as it is possible for me to obtain. Lorentz absolutely refuses to provide the pay bill for one day because he is under oath not to divulge the pay of each particular rank. According to the English pay he gives a calculation for each regiment per month, which I enclose with a separate one (as you request) for the Etat Major. Barrow must sooner or later pin Lorentz down to the very exact sum each regiment would want even supposed complete. At present we are completely in the dark about how many men they have lost since Colonel Faucett inspected them at Bremer Lehe.
