We have the Honour of your Excellency’s Letter of the 9th of this Month, requesting to be informed of the Port where those Vessels are which have occasion for a Convoy to America.

These Vessels are at Nantes where they wait for the Convoy, which We hope may be ordered there immediately, as a Letter We received yesterday from a large Number of Gentlemen at Nantes informs us that many Vessels with valuable Cargoes have been waiting a considerable time for the Convoy.

We have the Honour to be with the greatest Respect Sir your Excellency’s most obedient and most humble Servants
