Sir,

The Navy Board having represented to my Lords Commissrs of the Admiralty that the Master of the Elizabeth Storeship has applied to them for directions to what Port he is to proceed with the Stores she has on board, in Case, the Season becoming so far advanced, he should not be able to reach the Port of Quebec; And their Lordships having directed them to order the Master of the said Vessel, if he cannot reach that Port to proceed to Halifax, til the next Season will admit of his going to Quebec; I am commanded by their Lordships to acquaint you therewith, for the Earl of Dartmouth's information. I am Sir [&c.]
