[Draft letter by Banks]
Mr. Wapshot
The Navy Board have made choice of the Lighter set of Rods &c & I am to request that you will use all possible diligence in finishing them as the Ship that is to Carry them out is under Sailing orders.
I think it will be best to Pack them in Strong Elm Chests with Rope Handles at each End, about 3 Chests or Possibly 2 will be Sufficient.
Please to Let me Know the day before they are ready that I may take proper measures for their being Sent to Deptford yard
