Enterprise, Plymouth Sound, April 22,-1827
DEAR SIR Unforeseen events have brough us to this anchor- age; your Son will be able to give you every informoatioti on that point. I am extremely glad it is fin my power to say the manchery certainly exceeds my expectations, I had no idea, being so deep in th'e water, the velocity of the vessel would be so great as it has been; and the engines wrork very well and steady. The whole of the machinery has stood very firm alhough last~ Friday night was very boisterous. and the vessel rolled tremendously heavy, nothing started. We are exrremely short of stokes, consequnetly, could not keep the fires so weIl up as we could wish.
I am, dear Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
T. SACKVILLE CROSBIEI,Commander.
To Mr. Alex. Galloway, London
