- Scope & Content:
- In this letter William Digges Latouche describes the movements of three French ships at Muscat harbour and their interaction with an English ship from Bengal, which was delivering goods.

He also discusses intelligence received from the Consul in Aleppo, regarding the respective movements of a Dutchman and a French officer.
