Description (What the record is about)
-
Letter from I Solly to T Bthompson. There are several privateers fitting out at Dantzig and some row boats with 2 or 3 guns, which were kept in awe by the frigate commanded by Captain Ackborn. Several ships at Riga belonging to the Danes were arming them in order to get home during the long nights. As the weather in the Baltic was uncertain, was unsure whether some of his ships would be blocked by ice. If not, they would be ready to sail from Petersburg mid-December. Ships from Prussian ports will be sailing as late as the end of December.
