Gentlemen —

Agreeable to the requisition of your Honble Board, We Examined, into the state and Condition of the Vessells drifted on Shore, or made Captures of from Lord Dunmores Fleet, and are of Opinion that of the following Vessells lying at Kitts Point (to wit)

1 very large Pilot Boat

1 Schooner of about 1400 Bush[el]s Burthen

1 Sloop of about 2000 Bushs do wth some Rigging

The Sloop only in condition to be removed, And in order to do that, it will be necessary to send hands down with an Anchor & Cable -no hands to be hired here

At Cherry Fields —

1 Sloop about 1400 Bushs Burthen

1 Schooner of about 1200 Bushs do much repairs necessary before either can be removed,

If Gentln it should be the Opinion of your Board to have the Vessells which in our Judgment cannot be removed, without repairing -which we should not have relied on could we have procured any skilful Person to have examined them, disposed of We should be glad to receive your Instructions relative thereto as soon as convenient We are Gentlmn [&c.]
