Folios 178-179: James Nash, Regulating Captain, Leith Rendezvous. Suggests that before the officers are being appointed to command the Sea Fencibles begin issuing protections, that he should be allowed to request that the local fishermen provide a quota of men for the Impress Service. Encloses letters from the Earl of Killig and Major General J Weymss supporting this suggestion, and says he will take up General Weymss' suggestion of a press on the Fife coast.
Folios 180-181: enclosed with folios 178-179. Letter dated 3 July 1801 from Major General J Weymss, Weymss Castle, Dysart, Fife, to Regulating Captain James Nash, Leith. Suggests that the local fishermen be asked to provide a quota of men for the Navy, in return for which the rest of them will receive protection from being impressed.
