notable phrase
The commander in Chief and his suit have embarked this morning and will be under way in a few minutes - the Galley to lead the van, and followed by six large flat bottomed boats a full barge and several small craft. The hurry occasioned by embarkation allows one but a moment to write
A quantity of oakum is immediately wanted, nearly all of that already received, being expended. An appointment of Augers is also wanted and of that kind the ship carpenter call pod augers
William Bradshaw requests that no further payments may be made to Catherine Bradshaw nor to any other person on his account.
