To Captain Mootham, commander of the Foresight, Captain [Thomas] Bun
commander of the Essex, or which of these Vice-Admiral Lawson
shall appoint convoy to Bilbao
Whitehall, 27 June 1660
SIR
I am to advise you in your passage into the Bay of Biscay that you are to forbear to surprise, block or molest any of the Spanish boats or vessels which you shall meet with there. It was not thought proper to insert this in your instructions, wherefore you are desired to observe it as if it had. I am directed to give you private advice hereof and rest,
Your loving friend and humble servant
S. PEPYS SECRETARY
