Trevor Lloyd, at St Hellen's Road on board the Sandwich, a 2nd rate commanded by Capt. Cornwall, to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington. Having for this last winter remained in Purgatory - vulgarly called the Devil's Stink Pot - 'and now advanc'd to burgooe and bisket without a Jack expeditionall advance, ready to kill ye D(evi)l' makes bold to let Owen know that the fleet is unmoored and ready to sail the wind at N.E. 'soe pray for the soule of Gabriel John etc'. Though some of 'our dons' who seem as greedy as sharks think the French are notable to make 'us' a breakfast, the writer can but think how this poor ship of theirs was last year drubbed, killing Col. Hastings with about 150 of his men about his heels. Though he flatters himself they are going to a May game, yet longs to see a little mischief. There has been a long consultation of affairs there between the General, Admiral and Privy Council. The writer has been on board nigh three weeks, and finds it but scurvy living among some 700 persons. Besides one company, they are four regiments ordered on board, viz Lord Meath's, Sir John Morgan's late, Col. Venner's, and Col. Lloyd's, designedly to help to man the 1st and 2nd rates - all with firelocks. They are very sickly aboard. They hear by a French prize brought in this morning that 'grand Louis has nabd us upon the Rhine' and that The Count d'Estree has joined Mons. Tourville and that they are in a flourishing condition. Capt. Jones has got a new ship since he lost the Winssor Castle. PS He left amongst his papers in Ruthin a bill of £4 odd due from Lieut. William Owen. If any should produce it - upon the writer's exit - and demand the same from Owen, let this be a sufficient discharge from any such payment.

The people are all run mad 'or bewild' here and hereabouts. The writer had much ado to walk the streets and cross the Thames, affronted on both sides. He doubts not but the mob will set the town ablaze before morning or do some considerable mischief - they never wanted bleeding so much as at this juncture. Since the enclosed was printed - being 4 at noon - an express came of a mighty success to the English fleet and there is a design for a speedy descent into Normandy. PS Ashpoole, Dick, and the writer drink Owen's health heartily.

Thanks for letter and manifold favours. There is no certain intelligence of the fleet late with Sir George Rooke or any assurance as yet of his or their safety, neither is it known what the grand fleet designs this summer. Secretary Bowles is just posting through here with fresh orders from the Queen and has a convoy at Plymouth to carry him to the fleet. It is well known that they are put to short allowance already and preparations for several store ships to follow with provision. All honours of the flag being already conferred and disposed of, the entertainment Sir George and Sir Fr. W. may expect will be but cold. Here is humming news scattered out of Flander - if true! Lord Danby, who had been frolicking at Exeter and elsewhere during the Fleet's continuance at Torbay, and hastening from hence to the fleet which was unmooring, left six hautboys and four trumpet - by reason his twenty-five hand barge was crowded - to come next day by the ketch - which stayed for water in this port - who were all nabbed with their fine laced coats and carried by a French privateer to St Malo. Were Col. Lloyd - who is now in London - so kind as to grant the writer a furlough for this winter that he might enjoy his native air, it would possibly lengthen his days and thereby be a means to bring his hoary hairs with some good to its grave. As to what further relates to the writer's unfortunate distemper it will be immaterial here to describe it. The only happiness he hopes for is to be registered in the book of felicity, since nothing that is mortal contributes more to his welfare than that of contentment .

Lest the writer may not have another opportunity of acquainting Owen with the affairs of this 'watery element', he must let him know that their regiment - Col. Selwin and Col. Beveridge - are forthwith ordered for England, and likewise some of the horse. They give but a scurvy character here of the stiffnecked people of England. Various are the discourses 'we have', and not fit to be here inserted. 'However, we have tickled John the Frenchman's fancy at a pass two dayes agoe which they thought to force about Han where it cost 'em the best parte of 200 men'. It is thought that K(ing) J(ames) will pass part of this summer on board the French fleet. They talk of a mighty preparation both at sea and land that the Frenchmen have made, and have some speedy design on the Militia - Have A Care. The King has viewed the whole army and made all his dispatches for opening the campaign which the writer had hoped once to see but now despairs of that glorious prospect. The King is now at Breda and designs soon for England in order to settle a sure foundation, etc. This is a dismal country fortified chiefly with hunger and cold, and the writer heartily takes leave with it. He supposes that Owen has heard of Capt. Thomas Lloyd being killed at Louvaine by his major. 'Haveing not answear'd - as I suppose - my Coll.'s expectation with recruites, though as yet I heare litle of it, pray Sir when next you write to him be pleased to Epistolize a litle on my behalfe.' He wishes well and heartily prays for Owen, Lady Owen, Madam Ellen, Madam Jane, the young ones, wishing them long life and happiness here and eternal bliss hereafter.
