Letter by Richard Parker, president of the mutineers' committee, HMS SANDWICH, Nore, to Lord Northesk.
Parker agreeing to Northesk's request 'of common prudence to the Cause we are embarked in would Allow it' and also encouraging him to stay until the arrival of Captain Knight. This letter seems to have been written to stall events while maintaining Parker's link with Northesk for further negotiation.
