In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board
Your letter of yesterday informed us that two merchant ships, the CORONATION and the RUSSELL galley, now in the Thames, are the most fitting to be employed as men-of-war in their Majesties' service. You are directed to proceed with hiring them from their owners at the best rates that may be and advise us further.
