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

Their Lordships have received a letter from Charles Jones with a bill of charges incurred by him in proving embezzlement of His Majesty stores. He asks to be reimbursed and that he may be rewarded for his service. I send you the letter and account for you to consider and give your opinion as to what may be a proper reward for him. I ask for the papers to be returned.
