Barfleur Basseterre Road St. Christophers January 30th. 1782
Sir
In all matters respecting the shore, I can only humbly suggest, and readily submitt to your better judgement and determination, And as you are of opinion that the taking possession of Nevis can answer so salutary purpose; and your presence with the Fleet can be no longer of essential use from the impossibility there is of throwing in succours t o Brimstone Hill, and the Kings service making your return to Antigua highly necessary too the protection and defence of that Island; I will direct the Captain of the Drake to receive and carry you either to St. Johns, or an English Harbour as winds and weather will make most convenient, so soon as I can take from her the Ordnance Stores she has brought from Antigua, and I shall embrace the first opportunity of sending to you the Troops you embarked, at least the 28th Regiment, if not the two Companies of the 13th also.
I have the honor to be with every sentiment of regard and esteem
Sir
Your most obedient and most humble servant Signed S. Hood
Major General Prescott.
A Copy.
