In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

Extract from Captain Henry Robinson's letter. My men were set to practise gunnery but when they were assigned to quarters they could not be spared to look after the sails and rigging. The ship requires 30 or 40 more men considering her size and weight of guns. Captain Henry Robinson, Commander of the SAMPSON.
