Graves, reporting an agreement between the British Army and Navy to attempt to relieve Lord Cornwallis, announcing that Prince William had recently arrived in the 'Prince George', and remarking on the long time it has taken to repair the squadron and his fear of being too late to help Lord Cornwallis. |

| Writer | Hood, Samuel, Rear-Admiral Sir |
| Addressee | Budé, Jacob de, General |
| Description | 'No officer ever had more glorious prospects before him, of rendering great and important services to his King & Country, and it was not possible for any one, more unaccoutably to have overlooked them, by which I fear he has brought irretrievable destress [sic] not only upon Great Britain, but upon His Majesty's brave officers, Troops, & Loyal subjects, in America also.' |
