[Enclosure.]
Lieutenant Burney to Captain Cook.
Friday, 13 June.
Sir
,—The orders are just arrived for the Resolution to proceed to Plymouth, but no mention made of the Discovery. Capt'n Clerke cannot be found. Clerke is not on board, nor, I believe, will on this side Plymouth, and I know not where to direct to him; I therefore take the liberty to trouble you, and should be glad to know if we are to go round with the Resolution.
I remain, &c.
,Ja's Burney
