In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

Captain John Stow has informed us that he has a Ship now in the River Thames called the GENEROUS HANNAH, which he is desirous may be employed in their Majesties' service.
Direct you to cause the Ship to be surveyed and to report your opinion whether she is fit to be a Man of War, and if so what number of Men and number and nature of Guns will be proper for her.
