Summary
Complaining about the loss of His Majesty's hired transport Susannah because of the "obstinacy of the Health Office in not permitting assistance to go on board her in time"; requesting that these transports be considered the King's ships and that the signature of any captain be considered a sufficient bill of health for them.
