Sir

The Cadiz Packet, the Alert, Armed Schooner, & the Sloops Fanny & Charlotte, are intended to make a part of the Convoy that you have been already charged to Conduct to the Rendezvous of the Ships of War, at the Entrance of the Bay. And I am to desire you will acquaint the Senior Officer that these Vessels are to accompany the Victuallers, and Ordnance Ships, referred to in the Letter he will have had communicated to him by Captn Hammond. I must again reccommend all the Dispatch & Caution in your passage with the Convoy down the Bay, that the importance of the Subject in the Timely supply of the Army with the several necessarys the Ships contain will obviously require. I am Sir [&c.]
