Content Description

The combined fleet of the French and the Spanish were recently so close to Plymouth that their number could be counted from the dock, but they have now sheared off, many think it impossible for them to land at Plymouth; she passes him a message to Mr. Cambridge and his sisters; she asks that Humphry send down canvases or Mr. Putt will feel slighted.
