I have the honor to report that I made application to Rear Admiral
the Honorable J. Denman for a Ship of War to visit the Settlements on
the North East coast of this Island and embarked in H.M.S.
"Devastation" for that purpose on the 27th September returning on
the 4thOctober October.
I have given Captain Joliffe, the Commander of the "Devastation," the
usual certificate to enable him to recover the customary allowance
for the entertainment of myself and one servant during the period
before mentioned.
I have the honor to be,
Sir
Your most obedient Servant A.E. Kennedy
Governor
Minutes by CO staff
Mr Elliot
We shall hear from the Admiralty in due course. Put by for reference
when they apply for payment?
