Document signed by Josiah Burchett (c.1666-1746), Secretary to the Admiralty (1694-1742)
Samuel Phillips has presented a petition to take off the Q put on John Wilson, late of the ROMNEY. Their Lordships have directed me to send you the petition so that you may examine the case and to let their Lordships know whether the statement that Qs used to be taken off at the pay table on a seaman's re-entry is true.
