My Lord

I have the honor to acquaint Your Lordship, that I have received Information from undoubted Authority, that the two American Privateers, the one of Sixteen, and the other of ten Guns, that were chased into St Malo Some time ago by one of His Majesty's Ships of War, are now refitted, armed and are to Sail in a Short Time for America,² as a Convoy to other Vessels loaded for the Congress, of this; as Deputy Governor of this Island; I think it My Duty to acquaint Your Lordship, that You May take the proper Steps to intercept them, if possible. I have the honor to be My Lord [&c.]
