You will be good enough to forward the enclosed letters
to Commodore Taylor to whom I have written previously
as the service need him at the present moment. The
marines you propose putting on board will of consequence
stand in the same situation as the Tom Toby herself.
Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
S. Rhoads Fisher
Secretary of the Navy
