[Council to Col. Hooe.]

In Council Annapolis 8^th Aug^t 1777.
Sir
We inclose you a Letter & Instructions to Conway and a
Letter to the. Governor of the Havanna; be pleased to peruse
them and, if you think any material Part improper, we shall be
obliged to you for your Remarks and will gladly correct any
Thing amiss. We doubt whether Conway can get out; from
the last we heard from Virginia, the Men of War still continue
at & about the Capes. If you think it prudent to risk, advise
the Captain so, if not, we do not intend his Orders for sailing
as absolute. If you think the Lydia's Yawl necessary for
Conway, he may take her and we'll look out for another for
the Ship. You see we intend Conway to have the Manage-
ment of every Thing on board. We are &^ca
Col^o Hooe.
