In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

Yesterday I came into Highlake [Hoylake] and hope that if their Lordships continue me upon this coast, that I be supplied with a new mainmast, the defects of which you have an account of, it being disabled at the relief of Londonderry. The ship is very foul it being 9 months since she came off the ground. Today Lieutenant James Kiggins came on board. Signed John Leak.
