Description

Folios 83-84: Thomas Dundas, HMS Naiad at Sea [Latitude and logitude provided]. Requests whether he should detain or release the Prussian Ship Fredericka from Bordeaux bound for St Lucar, having on board 3200 casks of French flour, which he fell in with south west of Cape Finisterre. As the port it is destined for is only twelve miles from Cadiz which is blockaded, and as a French Squadron is based there, it is likely that the supply is intended for these ships.

Folios 85-86: enclosure with folios 83-84. Letter dated 22 June 1805 by Walter Spens (Navy Agents), 22 Surry Street, Strand [London] to the Admiralty. Encloses a letter from Captain Thomas Dundas and requests a response.
