I have to inform you that the Board of Admiralty have recently
submitted a claim (Voucher enclosed) to be repaid the sum of 24..9..0,
30..1..4,
and 5/5 on account of Tables, Hammocks &c. supplied to H.M.S. "Tribune".

Not having, as yet received from you any information as to the
necessity for the expense and the causes which have led to the delay in
the repayment of the sums claimed by the Admiralty Board, I have to
request to be furnished with the requisite particulars and that
measures may be taken at an early period for the liquidation of the
claim referred to.
