Moody to Merivale (Permanent Under-Secretary)

I have the honor to state, it would be of very great advantage
to the Service and a material saving in expense if the Secretary
of State would be pleased to authorize Twelve Months more Rations
being supplied from Admiralty Stores at Deptford at the same rate
(in quantities) as before but substituting Flour entirely for Biscuit.

The above to be shipped on board the "Briseis" now in the
London Docks.
