Sir

This Serves Just to let you know that the Ship Oliver Cromwell will be Ready to Sail as Soon as we Can git our People, Muskitts, Pistils & Cutlasses. the Row Galleys have a Sufficiency, & if your Honour Sends for them, I Suppose it will be done Imediately ー The Brigg Defence is fitting as fast as Can be Expected, and it would forward the Affair much to have the Officers who are to Command her to be on the Spott ー I hinted this in a letter I wrote to your Honour before, I am Sir [&c.]
