TranscriptExtract of a letter from Penryn, Jan. 26.
"This day was brought in here, by the Fessingham
Privateer, a large Dutch ship, loaded with bales
of milk and other goods for the spring trade,
bound from Marseilles to Boston. By her we
learn, that six more Dutch ships were taken
in goods there for different parts of America,
notice of which we have sent to all our
privateers, also to Bristol and Liverpool,
they may give a good look-out."
