In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

We understand from your letter of the 12th inst; that you do not think that one of the Brigantines fit to attend on the Governor of Maryland, and therefore you have proposed fitting one of the Advice Boats lately built at Arundel for that service. We hereby signify our approval and direct you to cause the Advice boat SWIFT at Littlehampton to be fitted and victualled to attend on the Governor of Maryland in the same manner as is directed by our Order of the 11th inst; for fitting a Brigantine for this service.
