{"value"=>"Has attentively read the letter from Capt. Hacker and others on the subject of anchoring the ships before the bar in Charleston harbor; thanks them for their attention to his request; believes that at certain times it may be difficult for ships to lie broadside to the channel, and that there might be risk in anchoring at or near Five Fathom Hole; yet is convinced that the attempt should be made, to prevent the enemy from entering the harbor; suggests that the Providence, Boston, Bricole, and Truite with some galleys, be placed near the bar: Contemporary copy. Endorsed."}
