Sir,

The wind being now fair, we will proceed acording to Orders for Spanish River near Cape North on the Island of Cape Briton. I will observe the former signals; but as there signals agreed on for tacking in thick or foggy Weather, to make a distinction I will fire 2 Guns immed — after one another, as a signal to tack — and to bring too on the larboard tack 2 Guns, allowing three minutes between them – We will endeavour to keep near together. I am with Esteem, Sir [&c.] .

To Hoysteed Hacker Esqr
Commander of the Sloop of War, Providence
