Content Description

Possibly written by the Secretary of State for War (see LAW/1/132), the notes mention the death of Nelson, also that of Capts. Duff and Cooke; it also provides simple tallies for enemy ships destroyed and captured.

The manuscript appears to have originated in Lawrence's house as "Dear Sir" is crossed out above where the notes commence.
