Capt: Bradford
Sir

I have frequently apply'd at your Office for two peices broad white Bunting, and a peice of narrow also,this is to renew that demand as at present the Ship has no Colours to hoist,it will be necessary for you to provide pitch, Tarr & Turpentine with Sulphur &c & two Barrells of Tallow for the Ships use,we have not Tarr enough to Tarr the Yards which is much wanting. Yours

Ship Boston Octo^r. 1^st.  1777—
