The letter, sent from Downing Street [London], begins with Pitt noting he has made enquiries about the Government of Limerick and commenting that a suitable equivalent will need to be found for Mr Cockayne in exchange for the position of constable of Limerick Castle, which Pitt will recommend Vereker for when a suitable option becomes available for Mr Cockayne. A manuscript note on the reverse in another hand records this as "1805 Mr Pitt".
