2.8.1766 | Pocock wrote to William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham "I take the liberty to ... express my surprise you should put such an indignity as I find your Lordship has, upon fifteen flag officers; I don’t mean to derogate from the merits of the worthy Admiral [Sir Charles Saunders] who is placed at the head of the Board of Admiralty for whom I have a great regard, but I apprehend it will occasion discontent and murmuring and may prove worse in its effects; for my own part, who have served the Crown upwards of forty-eight years, I can’t help thinking some notice might have been taken of me when a flag officer was in question to preside as chief in the naval department. And this unworthy treatment occasions me to take notice of it to your Lordship, who had formerly a pretty good opinion of the services I had rendered my King and country." | HPO | |
