Letters, copies of letters and drafts comprising Clive's outgoing correspondence in 1765.
Scope & Content:
The majority of the letters have been endorsed in a different hand 'Entd IIII Duplicate'. It is known that Clive maintained a series of letterbooks containing copies of his outgoing correspondence and it seems likely that this endorsement refers to that process.
Includes a small number of memoranda, orders and an abstract of letters sent in 1766. Many of the letters are marked indicating that they were copied into his outgoing letterbooks.
