In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

John Say, late Surgeon of the CAPTAIN,has by his Petition to this Board set forth that upon the turning over of the PLYMOUTH's Officers and Company into the CAPTAIN, he was put by his employment, and that he has since made application to Surgeons Hall for another Ship, but they will not grant him a Warrant.
We do therefore direct you to give Orders to the Master and Wardens of Surgeons Hall to appoint Mr Say as Surgeon to one of the new 4th Rate Ships now building at Blackwall, provided he is qualified for such an employment.
