Sir

I wrote you this day to wch refer ー the Cargo by the two prizes to be Laid up in a Secure place if you think the vessells are not Sufficient for that purpose ー Capt [Winborn] Adams ² will deliver you this, he Says he will take a Cruize while the Sails which he thinks absolutely necessary, are making. You will please to Let Such Sails as he wants, be put in hands imediatly, as we Cannot have too many armed vessells out ー Give him every assistance in your power, he wants to change his Swivels & some of his guns do sir indulge him & Let him proceed to Sea I am Sir.
