St James's 11th April 1777.
My Lords,
In addition to the Vessels engaged and prepared to sail for the last Division of Hessian Chasseurs as soon as We learn that they are in readiness to embark at Boemerleh, I am to instruct your Lordships to give Orders for the Conveyance of 200 Tons of Hessian Stores which are left in Depot at that Place. The Hatchway of the Vessel destined to this Service should be large, as the Casks, in which the Stores are packed up, are said to be particular so and from the Nature and Importance of the Cargo it would be material that the Vessel should be capable of some defence against Pirates in Case she should be separated from Her Convoy. I am &ca
Suffolk.
