Whitehall to appoint a governor for a Bahama island
An 18th century notice records the Lords of the Privy Council considering appointment of a governor for a Bahama island. The document notes an oath to be taken by the governor, introductions by Lord Harrington, and a ceremonial audience with royal officials.
