Burke gives only "Saturday morning" for the date of writing. He served as the paymaster-general to the army in 1782 and 1783, and given the place of writing, this letter may have been written during those years.
Burkes gives "Pay Office" for the place of writing, possibly referring to the Office of the Paymaster-General in Whitehall.
