In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

The bad provisions that went up to London have been sent down to the great discontent of my men and the impairment of their health. The meat is stinking like carrion and is as black as charcoal, there being not one man in the ship that would or could eat thereof. Signed Ralph Wronn, captain of the CORONATION.
