In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

We direct you to cause the GREYHOUND upon her arrival at Sheerness to be refitted for service in the Channel and victualled for three months or as much as she can conveniently stow, and that her Steerage and Forecastle be taken down, and her Deck made flush in order to make her sail better than she now does.
The hired ship BONAVENTURE is to be refitted for the like service by her Owners upon her arrival at Blackwall, and advanced to a fourth Rate. You are to report to us your opinion what number of Men and number and nature of Guns are fitting to be allowed her.
