Sir.
Underneath is a memorandum of Cordage which you will immediately send by the Bearer, for the use of the Countrys Vessells now fitting at this place, therefore in case you have not such by you, the Bearer has directions to wait till it is done, as the Vessells cannot proceed to Sea without it, give the Bearer all convenient dispatch I am Sir [&c.]
