CreatorDouglas; Sir Howard; third baronet (1776-1861); British army officer and colonial official
Date4 December 1824
DescriptionDouglas is in need of a good watch and Kater had noted Molyneux as a someone who could furnish one for about £20-£25. Kater should order one on those terms, and he will be called upon by a naval representative to take it in charge. That person will probably sail in 1825 and it is hoped that Kater will have the watch by then. He sends regards to Mrs Kater and hopes Kater will send news of Somerset House.
