In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board
Your letter of today's date has informed us that the MACHINE Prize Fireship cannot be fitted for Channel service in less than two months. We therefore determine that she should be put into Ordinary according to our late directions to you. Lieutenant Aston, now at Liverpool, is procuring Men in that area to serve in the Fleet. We direct you to imprest fifty pounds to him for this service.
