Sir

Agreable to your desire, I have procured you a statement
of the allowance of provisions to the convicts

They are all divided into Messes consisting of six in number,
and the provision mentioned below is for one mess, and
is the allowance for those working on shore. If they are on
board ship, and not at work, they have but 6 pounds of bread

I am, Sir, Your most humble Servant
