Your letter of 6 March mentioned a vessel the SUSAN cat now at Harwich, waiting for convoy, being laden with masts, rigging and stores for two ketches building at Scarborough. Orders have gone to the PLAY prize and the BONADVENTURE hired ship, now going convoy to the light colliers, to call at Harwich for the SUSAN to convoy her to Scarborough.
