There are two complete originals of the Report. The one in the British Library has DeBrahm’s inscription that he personally presented it to King George III. The other one was apparently DeBrahm’s personal copy that he retained. It is now in the Harvard University Library in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Both copies were written directly by DeBrahm or under his direct supervision. The wording in the two versions does not vary substantially.
The Harvard copy is now online at https://hollis.harvard.edu/primo-explore/fulldisplay?context=L&vid=HVD2&search_scope=everything&tab=everything&lang=en_US&docid=01HVD_ALMA212099377020003941
