Description

William Marsden. Sir Evan Nepean has sent a letter from the agent to Alexander Sparks asking for dispensation for papers to enable him to pass his accounts as Boatswain of the Aurore. No books or papers have been received from him from September 1800 to September 1801, nor has the Captain passed any of his accounts. Because Sparks is dead and since so much time has passed since his death, the accounts should be passed, providing that his representative makes the usual affidavit and ask for approval.
