In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

Copy of a letter from Henry Johnson offering to sell a nearly complete ship that could be finished as a Warship of 4th Rate size (530 tons). To complete her as a Man of War I require either a down payment of £1000 or £9 15s per ton until launched. I can deliver her to your Lordships in one month completely fitted. Signed by Henry Johnson, Shipbuilder.
