Sir
Lieutenant [John] Knowles has just now brought me the Copy of a Letter dated the 13th instt from the Navy-Board, address'd to Mr Foxworthy Naval Officer at Kinsale, desiring him to apply to Lieutt Knowles, to order the Clibborn to proceed to Plymouth, giving the Master Orders to give them immediate notice of his arrival there ー As I find it is the Navy Board's desire, that the Clibborn may be sent to Plymouth, I shall give directions accordingly. I am Sir [&c.]
