In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

We have decided that the Ketches MARTIN, QUAKER and ROE will be employed in future as Tenders on the Flag Ships of the Fleet. We direct you to reduce their Company of Men to the number allowed for Vessels of their tonnage in this employment.
The sum of nine thousand eight hundred pounds must soon be paid for this Office and you should solicit the Treasury for this sum. We direct you to proceed in the payment of such of HM Ships that are not yet paid, and to solicit the Treasury for Money to pay Bounty.
