Discusses the possible use of two gunboats for the wood service. Describes that they are, as of yet, not fit for use as they have very little rigging & no sails, except square-sails just sufficient to enable them to move with the wind & tide in their favour. States that to make them sea-worthy enough for Knox's purpose would incur a larger expense than it would warrant. On public service written on address leaf with no signature.
