In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

Your letter yesterday informed us that the new 6th Rate building by Mr Castle at Deptford, which we have named the SWAN, will be ready to be launched next Thursday.
We direct you cause her to be launched at that time accordingly, fitted out for Channel Service, manned with her highest complement of Men, and victualled for three months, and entered and registered on the list of the Royal Navy by the same name.
