The present serves to convey you a Deposition made by Captain Benet who was lately taken within a mile of the point of Croisic which is at the entrance of this River. I thought it my Duty to have this Deposition registered at the admiralty with the proper Forms and transmited to you in hopes that Satisfaction for the Injury may be obtained or at least that our Enemies may be in future kept at a greater distance. I have the honour to be with greatest Respect Gentlemen Your most obedient Servant
