Enclosure: In effect querying whether the BRITANNIA should be girdled but suggesting a method whereby both oak and fir would be used; and where the strengthening should be applied. Reference is also made to the price of large section timbers and to the time taken to complete the work. Notes are appended [mostly illegible], signed by Robert Lee, William Bagweel and Robert Shortiss, Commissioners at Chatham.
