July 4 Treasurer Southampton to Lord Arlington touching Sir William Doyley's two letters asking for supply for the sick and wounded men.

For this purpose when Sir Thomas Clifford lately attended on this business it was promised to the Treasurer of the Navy that he should have an additional assignment for 20,000l. more. I do really move in this business with bowels, as it relates to sick and wounded men. As it concerns the prisoners, who are most numerous, and as I hear well supplied from others, and in their demeanour insolent, I leave that to the officers concerned.
