Summary
Referring to an officer's absence without leave; reporting "The Bad business at the Nore is not altogether over, but I think nearly so, & that the whole will in a few days submit & return to their Duty, I hope it will be unconditional submission, I am sure it ought to be & to make severe examples of most of the Delegates;" relating specific actions in the mutiny and expressing his hope that it will be over in "two or three days;" adding, in a postscript, "I have just Heard that Capt. Knight is returned, that the Admiralty would not allow him to open his Commission, most properly saying nothing now would be accepted but unconditional submission."
