Description: Folio 173: Commissioner Sir Edward Gregory, Chatham. He has informed Richard Hale, Clerk of the Cheque, Sheerness, that the stop on Mr. Winterflood's wages cannot be taken off until he has given details of the accounts. Cables and anchors have been sent to the Tiger prize at the Nore as it is under orders for Elsinore. The Dockyard proposes to receive all of the 3 deck ships, 12 of the largest 3rd Rates, with the Royal William and the St. Andrew. This will complete their quota for the 30 capital ships. They will need to start work in November and retain the same number of workmen as they had the previous winter. He asks for a Quarter's pay for the Yard.
