: — Shrewsbury, &c. : June 28, 1700, o. S. Sir, — I doubt what I suspected yesterday is coming to pass to-day, for if the Danes' fleet advances, as they seem to intend, we shall be forced to engage or make a scandalous retreat. I confess I am inclinable to the former, but the enclosed is what is agreed. I have just now received yours of yesterday, and like the intention of sending the great ships away, and coming through the channel of Saltholm with the rest. Whenever we hear they are on this s...ide the channel, if the wind favours us, I hope we shall make no difficulty of joining them ; and I hope they will make as little if the wind favours them. I hope we may have a better dependence on the channel of Valterbon being buoyed, in case any misfortune befall us. I can't see there is any occasion of signals for our joining, because we shall always keep within sight of the Danes ; and if we were joined we can't all engage together — we shall out-line them so much. The Danes are just come to an anchor about two leagues of us, we having but little wind.
