In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

You have informed us that you believe Mr Ellis at Shoreham may incline to set up another fifth Rate when he launches the Fireship he is building there for their Majesties.
We direct you to agree with him the best terms you can for building a fifth Rate ship of the same fifth Rate dimensions which were last ordered to be built, and to finish her as soon as may be.
