In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board
We have considered your letter of the 10th inst; together with the Copy of one to your Board from the Victualling Commissioners, concerning the furnishing the East Indies Squadron with Credits.
The demands of the East India Company for doing this seem to us somewhat unreasonable, and we do therefore direct you to give Orders to the Victualling Commissioners to procure one thousand pounds in pieces of eight, to be sent with the Squadron if possible, or by the first opportunity of a Merchant Ship bound to those parts. You are to let us know what you have done further towards procuring Credits for answering other Contingencies of this Squadron.
