Lieut Tonken, Agent to the Transports, going to Corke, having by his Letter dated the 1 lh instant in Milford Haven, informed my Lords Commissrs of the Admty that the preceding Morning at day light he sailed from thence with the Transports under his direction with the Wind at East, but by the time he got 15 Leagues to the Westward, the Wind came round to the WSW, and as it began to blow strong, with the appearance of dirty Weather, he thought it most prudent to bear away again for the above Port, from whence he shall sail the first fair Wind; I am commanded by their Lordships to acquaint you therewith, for the information of Lord George Geimaine And am Sr [&c.]
