Folios 429-430: Isaac Wolley, HMS Gelykheid, Hawke Roads. Is enclosing a copy of a letter from Captain Richardson together with a copy of his reply.

Folios 431-432: enclosure with folios 429-430. Letter dated 10 July 1804 by William Richardson, HMS Adelphi, Grimsby Roads to Isaac Wolley, HMS Gelykheid, Hawke Roads.
