You will perceive by the enclosed Letter, the present Situation of
Commodore Grason. By some unaccountable Mismanagement, the
Men you Spared for the Barges a few Days ago, have returned with-
out meeting with them, and they are not now in Sufficient Force to
proceed down the Bay; We therefore request you will once more, be
so obliging as to direct Captain Bagues with the 30 Soldiers, to join
the Commodore, they will not be detained longer than the Time for
which you agreed to Spare them.
