Description

Folio 80: Burt to lord George Germain. Troops are employed on fortifications on Guadeloupe. The inhabitants expect war.

Arbaud has acted correctly by delivering a schooner brought in by a privateer, imprisoning its captain and impounding its guns and rigging.

Date and place: 1777 Nov 1 Antigua.
