In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board
We have considered your letter of 2 April concerning the ESSEX, which is offered by her owners as a man-of-war. You are directed to treat further with the owners and to hire the ship if she is found fitting, without any consideration of whether her master Captain Hudson is to command her. You are to give us an account of your proceedings.
