Letters from the London Press on Admiral Vernon's Campaign
An extended extract from a letter by the Rev. Richardson, chaplain to Admiral Vernon, recounts recent naval actions against Santa Marta and Carthagena, privateer exploits, and the fate of several engagements. It notes a tempo of repair delays, transports, and prize captures, plus political moves in London and obliquely comments on the East India Company and local governance.
