Robert Digby expressing his hope of leaving the American coast for the West Indies with as strong a force as possible, i.e. with all of Digby's squadron, and offering to prove that he has no wish to deny Digby's ships of any profit by signing agreements to share any prizes acquired equally.

from the day I leave the wet of New York, untill the first of next April, or untill the Ships of your Squadron, return, & make, some part of the Coast of North America in the spring, as you may most approve. I think it right in me to make this proposition, and it rests with you to accept or reject it, and if what I suggest meets your approbation, will not be right to give out that your Squadron, is going to cruize off Rhode Island? I am ever with great regard & esteem my dear Admiral Digby’s most sincere and faithfull humble servant Sam: Hood [[underline]] Copy [[/underline]]
