1794. No. IX.
Fort William 7th April 1794. The following Letter and its Enclosures were received, on the 5th Instant, from the Superintendant at the Andamans on the Arrival of the Snow Cornwallis. Super! Andamans dated 20th March 1794.
To Edward Hay Esq? Secretary to. Government.
Sir, I beg you will acquaint the Honble the Governor General in Council that as we have now two Vessels here unemployed, I have dispatched the Cornwallis Snow to Bengal and have indorsed on the Garrison Store Keeper for a small quantity of Provisions.
By this Vessel Lieutenant Wells returns to Calcutta whose health has suffered so much that he finds himself obliged to request permission to resign his Appointments here. The loss of this Officer I lament very much as I have received the greatest Assistance from him, and the Public much advantage by the excellent arrangements he has made in all the departments, which were under his charge, and in one instance the considerable saving of one third of all the provisions that was expended, as will appear by a comparison of the expenditures, before and since he took charge of the Provision Department,
