Extract of a Letter from Mr Fenwick to The Earl of Suffolk Elsingoer 16th. June 1778.
I am sorry to add that We have many confirmed Reports of a Schooner, a Brig & a Snow, American Pirates, having taken 3 or 4 English Vessels and carried them into some Port of Norway, near Fleckerae,1 & althô I have no Letters myself, yet fear it may be too true; as it is said the Accident has happened only about Ten Days ago, and the Norway Mail comes in but Once a Week—
Copy, UkLPR, Adm. 1/4136, no. 13. Fenwick was the British Consul at Elsinore, Denmark.
1. Flekkerøy I., Norway.
