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.

Similar treatment for the BRITTANNIA is however to be put on hold.
