Document signed by William Bridgeman, c.1646-1699, English civil servant and Secretary to the Admiralty between 1694 and 1698.

I have received your letter concerning the want of a Master Shipwright at Harwich, and in answer inform you that Mr Podd's Warrant for that employment was sent to the Portsmouth Commissioner on the 10th June, and it was expected he would now be there. If he is not, please hasten him to his duty.
Concerning your letter about the SEA HORSE at that place, I presume you mean the SOLEBAY, as I don't find any orders for cleaning the former Ship there.
