— to [? the Navy Commissioners]. I am told by persons of
judgment that the frigate of 200 tons bought by the French is
not fit for our service, being altogether too low on the deck, but
I am promised, if you think fit, to have a ship made of the same
burden and in all dimensions suitable to your desire for the same
price of 16,000 livres tournois. The builders of this town are
reputed as able men as any in the world for small frigates of that
rate and will dispatch any thing with as much diligence and as
cheap as carpenters in England. The wood of this country is as
good as any. If you have any further thoughts therein, please
honour me with your commands. [S.P. Supplementary 137,
No. 818.] |
