Document signed by James Southerne, Secretary to the Admiralty, fl. 1690-1694.

As the ASSISTANCE has been ordered to remain at the Nore under Quarantine, Orders have been sent to the ASSURANCE due at Deptford to spare thirty Men to man the two Fireships going to Sheerness; but as the Captain has reported that he has only two days food left prompt action in supplying him is required. A request is made for the return of the Estimates concerning the cost of maintaining the First and Second rates.
