It is unclear to whom this letter is addressed. It is possible it was to Sir John Murray (1768-1827) who held the rank of Major General at that time. It is also possible it is Major General James Patrick Murray (1782-1834) and not likely that it is Sir James Murray Pulteney as he began using the name Pulteney in 1794
Volume 8 (MA 1265) of a 33-volume collection of the correspondence of Sir James Pulteney, his family and distinguished contemporaries. (MA 487, MA 297 and MA 1260-1290). The arrangement of the collection is alphabetical by the author of the letter. Items in the collection have been described individually in separate catalog records; see collection level record for more information (MA 1265.1-59).
