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

The Admiralty Commissioners have some time since directed you to pay such persons as shall appear to you entitled to the allowances granted by Act of Parliament for taking two French Men of War, the CONTENT and TRIDENT in the Straights.
I am sending herewith the pretentions of some persons, who are not in Town, to share the said allowance, and also other related Papers, so that you may judge as necessary, and when done I desire you will return the original Papers.
