Description

Folios 303-304: Thomas Wolley, HMS Arethusa, Frouville [Grouville] Bay, Jersey. Reports he returned last night after cruising off the French Coast without any success. Indeed I much fear there is no chance at present of intercepting La Didon as the Prince of Bouillon has received intelligence of her intended sailing being put off till La Consolantais [Consolante] is equipped, who was launched only a few days ago. I will get underway this evening. I have received your letter dated 26 July 1800 and enclose [Not Inc.] the state and condition of HMS Arethusa
