Captain Cook to Secretary Stephens
Captain Cook to Secretary Stephens.
Sir,—
Please to acquaint my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty with the arrival of his Majesty's sloop Resolution, under my command, at Long Reach, in order to take in her guns and other ordnance stores, which could not be done in Gallions Reach, there not being there a sufficient depth of water for the sloop to lay with safety.
I am, &c.,
Jam's Cook.
