A letter from Captain George Farmer to the Spanish Commodore John Ignacio Madariaga, dated Port Egmont June 8 1770, demands the departure of Spanish forces from Port Egmont and all Falkland Islands. It asserts the islands were discovered by English crown warrant and belong to the British Majesty, with orders for settlement to proceed.
