In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

You have informed us that the Officers at Chatham and Sheerness have not been able to launch the MEDWAY this Spring as intended, and have desired therefore that two Third Rates may be laid astern of her at the next Spring to assist in that Service.
Direct and empower you to make use of such two ships of the Third Rate in the River Medway on this Service, as you think proper.
