America.- Province of Massachusetts Bay.- George III (King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and King of Hanover, 1738-1820) Warrant signed "George R" addressed to Henry Fox, Paymaster General of the Forces for the payment of £60,634 out of a total of £200,000 granted for the North American Provinces to the Province of Massachusetts Bay in compensation for levying, clothing and paying the troops raised by the said province, D.s., manuscript, 2pp. with conjugate blank, folds, browned, folio, [c. 1761-62].

⁂ Although the document bears all the necessary signatures, the warrant signed by the king and counter signed by William Wildman Barrington (Chancellor of the Exchequer), Sir Gilbert Elliot (Lord of the Treasury), and James Oswald, as the space for dating is blank it is possible that the document was never issued. Documents signed by George III specifically relating to the American Provinces are extremely rare on the market.
