Title
Mr Shore to be discharged as clerk of navy yard at Norfolk
Description
Pickering expresses high regard for Josiah Fox. Fox apparently informed Pickering that Shore is not up the task as clerk of the ship yard at Gosport. After the ship yard closes and the stores are accounted for, Pickering will discharge Shore. Would be happy to hear from Pennock on subject.
