In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board
The TIGER and SMYRNA MERCHANT Hired ships are to be fitted and victualled at Bristol with six month's dry provisions and as much wet as they can conveniently stow for a voyage to Virginia. Bristol merchants are to be the suppliers. The letter also chases progress with the victualling of the FORTUNE Pink currently at Dartmouth to assist her in proceeding to the Thames she being ready in all other respects and continues by instructing the KATHERINE to be careened and scrubbed as proposed by Commissioner Edward Gregory at Chatham. Similar treatment for the BRITTANNIA is however to be put on hold.
