In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

You have informed us that the DILIGENT Prize is a proper Ship to serve as a Guardship at Plymouth, to receive and secure Men belonging to Ships ordered into Port to refit.
We direct you to buy her for that service if she can be had on reasonable terms, and to solicit the Treasury for money to do it.
You should give us an account of your proceedings.
