Document signed by Josiah Burchett (c.1666-1746), Secretary to the Admiralty (1694-1742)

The HAMPSHIRE and SORLINGS have lately returned, the former from the West Indies and the other from New England, and they are coming to the Downs, and from there the SORLINGS is ordered to the Nore.
We direct that you give an account of where, in your opinion, it will be best for them to be refitted.
