I take this opportunity per Cap^t. Lynch to Inform your excellency, that the Beams & knees of the galley now on the Stocks, are in, But not Bolted, & that by an addi­tional Expence of ten or fifteen Pounds her deck Can be Raised, Soe as to Carry To­baccoe or any other Cargoe to Sea—Your answer per Bearer Will oblige y^r Excellen­cys Humble Servant

P.S:—Her being Altered will be much more to her advantage than at present—
