My Lords,
I am informed that since my letter to Your Lordships of the 29th Deer signifying His Majesty's Pleasure that the Elizabeth Storeship, Captain [John] Toone, should proceed to Boston, her Cargo has been taken out by the Board of Ordnance, & that She has been loaded with military Stores for the Service of the Expedition under Sir Peter Parker. Your Lordships will therefore be pleased to recall any Orders you may have given for her proceeding to Boston, & to direct her to proceed according to such Directions as have been given by the Board of Ordnance. I am &ca
