[Council to Thomas Sollars, Naval Officer.]

We think it highly necessary that Legh Master's Vessel should be
detained in Port for several Days or until the Vessels chartered by
this State and the Spanish Agent to export Flour and Bread to the
Havannah, have sailed to prevent any Injury that might arise from
his or the prisoners on Board communicating it to the Enemy. And
do therefore request you to detain the said Legh Masters Vessel in
Port until our further Order therein is made known to you and that
you would inform the said Legh Master of our Resolution.
