12 April 1796.
Sir.
It is represented to me that the cabin of the sloop William is so filled with bales, as to render it impossible for Mr Ellener the [undecipherable: Commissioner] to find [strikethrough: the] necessary room in it for himself & Lady. You will be pleased to take such order respecting it, as to make his situation during the passage comfortable. I shall have the dispatches ready by three Oclock
I am Sir
Your Svt
