Sir.
We are informed by M^r Fassit that four British Prisoners of
a Vessel lately retaken, are in Worcester probably yet under
Guard: it is supposed some of them may in all Likelihood be
wanted as Witnesses in the Court of Admiralty: we request
you to send them to Baltimore, the least expensive Way you
can; perhaps sending over one or two in a Vessel, as Oppor-
tunity may offer, would be best, but we leave that to yourself
We are &^ca
Joseph Dashiell Esq^r
