Document signed by William Bridgeman, c.1646-1699, English civil servant and Secretary to the Admiralty between 1694 and 1698

I am enclosing an extract of a letter from Captain Finch and I am to remind you of their Lordships orders for sending down pilots to the ships in Longreach to carry them to the Nore. Their Lordships have written to the Earl of Romney to hasten the guns to the DORSETSHIRE and MARTIN ketch and also those for the SHREWSBURY and LITCHFIELD and to give an account of when they may be expected at Portsmouth.
