In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

I received my guns and stores yesterday and stay for nothing but my sails which were promised me this day, but I am now told I cannot have them until tomorrow. If I had but a suit of sails to carry me to sea I would not wait for them, but I have not. Signed by Captain Stevens, Commander of the ROEBUCK.
