Briggs to Under-Secretary of State

I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint
you, for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
that the sum of Twenty two pounds one Shilling (£22.1.0) is due to
Commr Jolliffe of Her
Majesty's Ship "Devastation" on account of expenses incurred
in the Entertainments specified overleaf, and I am to request that you
will move Mr Secretary Cardwell to give directions for that amount
to be transferred to the credit of Naval Funds in the hands of the
Paymaster-General.
