Plymouth, November 16, 1775.
HONOURED SIR: I expected long before this to have had Captain Martindale out on his cruise; but the weather has been so extremely bad for a fortnight past that we have not been able to do any thing of consequence. Have at length got him almost complete, and expect he will sail tomorrow morning, if the weather is suitable.
I shall proceed to Cambridge as soon as this vessel is ready to sail. In the mean time I am, Sir, your faithful
servant, EPHRAIM BOWEN, JUN.
To Colonel Joseph Reed.
