*** Commissions granted in 1775 to officers in the army are to be found in Military Entry Bks., v. 27, p. 360, and v. 28, p. 318; and those granted during this year in the regiments in Ireland, in Ireland, Military Entry Bk., 1768–84, between pp. 61 and 112. The usual official recommendations of the latter from the Lord Lieutenant, and drafts of letters from the Secretary of State signifying His Majesty's approval or disapproval, are in the series entitled Ireland, vol. 451, between Nos. 2 and 86 (18 documents); vol. 452, between Nos. 6 and 66 (21 documents); vol. 453, between Nos. 6 and 90 (31 documents); vol. 454, between Nos. 11 and 96 (31 documents); vol. 455, between Nos. 1 and 85 (33 documents); and vol. 456, between Nos. 2 and 66 (20 documents). Letters from the Secretary of State on the same subject are also found in Ireland, Entry Bk., vol. for 1770–5, between pp. 308 and 350 (10 entries); and vol. for 1775–7, between pp. 1 and 162 (46 entries). A letter relating to the retirement of Capt. David Skene of the 28th Regt., is in War Office, vol. 26, No. 31. As Army Lists published by permission of the Secretary-at-War exist for this period, the ordinary Commissions are not more particularly described.

Among the letters above described:—
In vol. 451, No. 80 contains applications whose uncommon circumstances of distress led the Lord Lieutenant to lay them before the King, notwithstanding his commands relative to officers under orders for embarkation; and No. 86 signified His Majesty's compliance in all the cases except one or two.
In vol. 453, No. 38 refers to the King's great disapprobation of buying and selling, and the Lord Lieutenant was recommended to endeavour to put a stop to it; and No. 67 announces "that the proper persons to be recommended for quartermasters "are active sergeants, for His Majesty does not think the office very fit for men of better extraction."
In vol. 454, No. 43 a, b, contains recommendations in regard to regiments under orders for foreign service.
In vol. 455, No. 15 describes the method taken to preserve the rights of the War Office in regard to recommendations from the Lord Lieutenant for certain new companies raised at the expense of England.
No. 52 has special reference to the merit and services of Major Bolton, recommended to be Lieut. Col. of the 9th Foot; and
No. 60 allows appointment of an additional aide-de-camp for the Commander-in-Chief in Ireland.
