Document no. 5 dealing with 3 separate issues: 1. Barrington explains that "The Guard at Sunderland was ordered by desire of the Lords of the Admiralty, but it was not understood that it was to assist the Press Gant, but only to protect the regulating Captain at the Rendezvous from the Mob." If this should be an inconvenience Whitmore can withdraw the Guard, but should provide "a proper answer to the Admiralty that I may be able to acquaint their lordships why their request cannot be complied with."; 2. dealing with in a single line, "I am very sorry for Major Glover's misfortune."; 3. Barrington explains that he has received a reply from Sir George Saville, "who will be attentive to redress what has been amiss in his Regiment." and that "He expresses himself particularly obliged by the genteel manner in which you have conveyed your advice to him, and has desired that I would let you that he is sensible to your politeness." This would refer to [no. 4] wherein he remarks that he has "convey'd the hint you gave me to Lord Malpas, & Sir George Saville, which I dare say will induce them to order as many of the absent officers as possible to their duty, and not to give leave of absence to any others without your previous approbation."
