| Content Description | Explains that Rear Admiral Philips, who is examining the state of rendezvous on this coast, arrived yesterday; writes that her husband acts there as regulating captain and superintendent of the 'sea fencibles'; asks that the duke write to Lord St Vincent as soon as possible to recommend that Captain Boyle may continue his appointment here for as long as the board thinks it necessary to continue the rendezvous and the sea-fencibles there; explains how sorry she would be to leave there, as the air is doing her so much good and the inhabitants have been so friendly; adds that she wrote to the duke as Lord Glasgow and their friends are out of town; has not yet told Boyle of her application; asks duke to forgive her for the request and thanks him. |
