Royal Warrant - King George III, London, England, November 3, 1763

This Royal Warrant, issued from St. James's, London, on November 3, 1763, is a payment order signed by King George III. It directs Henry Lord Holland, Paymaster General of Guards, Garrisons & Land Forces, to pay the sum of £626 5 shillings and 4 pence to the representatives of Sir James Colebrooke, Sir George Colebrooke Baronet, Arnold Nesbitt, and Moses Franks Esq. This payment is to discharge a debt for provisions and financial support they provided to royal forces in New York during the French and Indian War. The document features the signature "George R[ex]" in brown ink and is countersigned by George Grenville, Sir John Turner, and Thomas Orby Hunter. Arnold Nesbitt and Moses Franks have also signed the document on the verso, likely acknowledging receipt of funds. The warrant is housed in a custom presentation folder which includes an engraving of George III. The document itself shows flattened folds, light edge toning and chipping, and foxing throughout, with some tape and mounting residue on the verso.
