Folios 336-337: Donald McLeod, Regulating Captain, Liverpool. Replying to Admiralty query of 24 July, re Caleb Gibbs, Samuel Smith, George Harriss [sic], and James Camp. Says Gibbs does not appear on the books of the Rendezvous. Smith was impressed by Lt Timins on 18 June, an able seaman and shipwright aged 25, said he was born in New York. He has since produced the protection enclosed, but McLeod says this is 'evidently not intended for him' as the man described is 7 inches shorter [but this doesn't seem correct, as he says in the letter that Gibbs is 5ft 4 1/2 ins, and the protection gives 5ft 4 3/4 ins]. Harris was impressed by Lt Archbold on 15 July as an able seaman aged 21, saying he was born in New Orleans. Camp was impressed by Lt Walker 17 July as an ordinary seaman aged 23, said he was born in New York and produced a certificate in that name, for 1809, but McLeod suspects he was not the right person.
