In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

The house at the Chatham yard, formerly made use of by the Master Attendant, is ordered to be returned to the Clerk of the Survey who formerly had it. The Master Attendant has at present no dwelling at the yard and, it being judged fitting that he should be accommodated there, you are directed that the house of the Master Joiner be given to the Master Attendant: the Master Joiner to be allowed on the Quarter Books for such sum for house rent that the Master Attendant enjoys at present. You are also directed to have the house at Deptford, formerly inhabited by the Storekeeper, given to accommodate Captain Richard Cotton and his family, during the time he is employed as Deputy Master Attendant at the yard.
