I acknowledge receipt of your two letters of 31 December 1694. The 40 men ordered from the Nore to Harwich to attend the launching of the YARMOUTH are already gone and orders are sent to the MAIDSTONE to convoy the ANNE hoy to Shoreham and the two storeships are to be convoyed from Falmouth as soon as possible, if they are not already come away. As to provisions for the SMIRNA MERCHANT in Tinmouth, you may expect to have orders tomorrow.
