In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

The Commander of the HENRY prize at Hull informs us that her beam is rotten and we have ordered her to the Nore. You are directed to give your opinion as to where she may be most conveniently be fitted for sea. You are to order the Commissioners of the Victualling to supply her with provisions sufficient to bring her to the Buoy of the Nore. You have proposed Portsmouth and Plymouth to repair the rudder of the BONADVENTURE now in the Downes, which we judge is not so convenient as Sheerness as there is not provision at those two ports to supply the ship. Upon her arrival at Sheerness you are to have her rudder repaired with all possible dispatch.
