Sir,
Yours of 6th Inst we have receiv'd, the articles of Cordage Blocks &c. which you mention we have given Orders for and expect very shortly to send you except the 5 Bolts of Duck and the suit of Colours which are not to be had here, we are at a loss to know where to send them as you have not mention'd what Harbour the Vessel2 is fitting in, and therefore desire you will write us by the first Opportunity to what ー Place and to whose care you would have them directed. I am for the Board [&c.]
