Sir

I laid your Letter before the Council wch. met yester
-day who approved of your providing for the Spanish priso
-ners on the Terms you propose, therefore you will continue
so to do. I have sent a Warrant for a Survey of the
provisions on board the Transport, and have left the Names
in blank, the Master of the Arundel must be one, it being
the constant Custom of the Navy. You will add two others
to him who you take to be impartial and competent Judg-
-ges of the Matter referd to them, upon their Report the
whole affair must be settled by the Agent Victualer who
I imagine will give his Bills for Repayment to the Colony
from the Crown. Please to make my Compliments to Don
Pedro Bermudez and let him know I have ordered a Survey
to be made of the provisions on his Complaint according
to the Rules of Government here

I am Sr. yr. Hum : Servt.
Fran : Fauquier

To Mr. Charles Steuart.
