No. 233

[Council to Hollingsworth.]

Sir: We send you inclosed a copy of our agreement with
Major Horsey for the Schooner Friendship, also an Inventory
of the Tackle &c. which we request you will examine into, as
soon as she is fitted agreeable to contract, she is to be delivered
over to to you or your order, and loaded with all possible
dispatch. Can you recommend a proper Person to take the
command of her. Major Horsey tells us the Foretopsail men-
tioned in the Inventory is missing — dont let the loss of . that,
or any other trifling articles prevent your receipt of the vessel,
but they should be noted and the mmutes transmitted to us.
She has 40 Hhds Tobacco on Board, which we send you a list
of inclosed, — 20 of them are to be delivered Mr. Dugan for
the Schooner 92 — you will fill up the Friendship, after stowing
away the other 20 Hhds of Tobacco, with two thirds Flour
and one third bread.
Mr. Jesse Hollingsworth
