{"value"=>"Finds from observations made the previous day, that some difficulties are connected with the anchoring of the frigates near the bar; as Commodore Whipple was sent to cover the harbor the attempt must be made; requests that a report be sent to him of the depth of the water in the channel, with other particulars; if the ships cannot anchor near the bar asks where they can lie so as to protect the town; directs that the captains and pilots of the other ships be consulted, and that the present station be maintained unless an opportunity should occur for acting offensively against the enemy. Contemporary copy."}
