TranscriptExtract of a letter from Corke [Cork?] Dec. 5.
"This day arrived thye [the?] Hydra Frigate from Charles-Town,
convoy to nine merchantmen. Laden with tobacco and rice,
three of them came with her, and the reminder are to the
Westward; the wind easterly drove the into our ports.
A passenger told me they sailed the 5th October, left
all well.
