Sir

The 6th instant I informed You of my Arrival Here, the preceding Evening, with His Majesty's Ship the Bristol; Not a Pendant has appeared of[f] this Harbour since, but this Morning, One of the Ordnance Ships called the Noble Bounty came in, and as the Wind has been favourable, and the weather sufficiently moderate for Two or Three Days past, I hope Our whole Force will be assembled in the Course of to Morrow and next Day, or at least such part of it, as I may venture to proceed with. All the Troops are Embarked, and I have Anchored the Transports in convenient Births for putting to Sea. I am Sir [&c.]
