Description

Folios 123-126. Letter dated at Dublin Castle from Lord Harcourt to Lord Rochford enclosing a letter received by Sir John Blaquiere from Robert Gordon Surveyor-General of Customs and Excise in the Province of Munster. The 28th and 46th Foot embarked on 9 October but the transports were prevented from sailing by contrary winds. Enclosing: Folios 125-126: Letter dated at Newgrove giving news of some ships from Philadelphia having landed flour at Havre de Grace and that the masters had orders to purchase arms, ammunition and coarse woollen goods. If possible they were to sail from there before 1 September to meet up with the schooners cruising off Cape Sable [Nova Scotia?] which would take in their cargos in a place called Casco [Virginia]. They could not get back into Philadelphia because the river had been deliberately rendered impassable for large ships.
