Sir

Your Letter of the 18th June advising your arrival at Charles Town with 500 Stand of Arms has come to hand, and we are pleased with your success. The Commercial Committee has now given Orders to the Agents to load your Vessel with a convenient Cargo which you must receive and proceed therewith to the Island of Martinico where you are to deliver the same as the said Agents shall direct.

When this is done you must again return to Charles Town where the Agents will employ your Schooner agreeable to orders now given them, therefore you must follow such directions as they give you in future advising us when you arrive. We doubt not you will be extreamly cautious to prevent your Vessel from falling into the hands of the enemy and that you will be diligent for dispatch in Port and at Sea. Wishing you success We are Sir [&c.]
