[Council to Maj^r Ignatius Taylor.]

Your Letter of the 20^th Nov^r we have received. It is our Desire
you would endeavour to get the Vessel off and have her with her Sails,
Rigging, and whatever else belongs to her, secured and taken Care of,
and appoint a Person to ascertain the Damage she has sustained and
transmit the Report to us. If the Vessel cannot be got off without
incurring a greater Expence than she will sell for, it is most advisable
to dispose of her as she lies, for Tobacco or Specie. It will be proper
for you to send the Military Stores to Annapolis with the Flour.
When you furnish an Account of the Expence that may attend this
Business, it shall be paid.
