Description

Folios 79-84. Everard Fawkener to Duke of Newcastle. The person sent to London accompanying this messenger is dispatched due to fears that he may provide the rebels [Jacobites] with information. Dated at Wigan [Lancashire]. Enclosures:

1. Folios 80-81. Copy of a letter from Lord Lonsdale to Fawkener. Lonsdale expresses approval of Duke [of Cumberland's] pursuit of the rebels.

Cumberland will find it difficult to provision his army once past Kendal [Lancashire]. Lonsdale will write to Marshal Wade giving notice that Wade's commissaries may need to supply duke of Cumberland's army with bread from Yorkshire.
