In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

We understand by your letter of the 4th inst; that the MORDAUNT cannot be fitted for the West Indies, as was ordered, but only at a very great charge and expense of Deals, there being no Sheathing board at Portsmouth.
We direct you to cause her to be refitted for service in the Channel, and that you cause the FORESIGHT to be brought into the Dock at Portsmouth and refitted for the West Indies with all possible dispatch.
