This is Chatham Dockyard Historical Society Research Paper No. 32 and consists of letters between London and Chatham from 5 January 1708 and 31 December 1712, transcribed by Peter Dawson. A diverse range of topics is covered, e.g. people and ships; officers and senior ratings; the Peace Proclamation, with order to privateers to desist their activities; the gifts of a hundred barrels of gunpowder to rulers on the Barbary Coast, probably as a gift to deter them from their slavery activities; the quarantine of merchant ships from the Baltic; embezzlement of tallow; applications for entry into Greenwich Hospital; refusal of duty leading to Court Martial. Some of the entries are reproductions of the original letters.
