As soon as the Silpson will have returned from Grenada, I will return it to you in order to make up the deficiency in Barbadoes: I have no more of the corvettes they have all left for France.

It is fortunate that your hospital is going well; go there with aid, do please; I will send you another surgeon. I send you a man to command your schooner. I send you a [illegible]; of which you want to have copies made, and to deliver one of them to Mr. Sombidan; and to the officer who commands the port in question ...
