Thomas Newton, Jr. to the Governor May 7, 1795

Your Excellency's favours of the fourth I received, and have given the British Consul notice of the revocation of the instructions therein mentioned. All the ships are out at present, but a cutter is arrived who had permission to take wood, water and provisions they wanted. If any ships of Admiral Murry's squadron returns I will enquire after our citizens that are detained and inform your Excellency the result. I have this day employed a fine boat for a lookout, but hope we shall save the expense of her, as I think the Fort answers all the purposes.
I am, &c.
