[Williamsburg]
To Captain Eliezer Callender.—
We have furnished Dr. Brown with an Order for medicines, and delivered him your Commission, and that of your first Lieutenants1 dated and certified agreeable to former appointments by the Committe of Safety. A second Lieutenant and master will be appointed and sent to your ship2 as soon as proper persons can be procured.— When your ship is completely fitted you are to repair with her to york Town. We have no Blankets at present but hope to have them by the time the ship comes round.—
Signed
