Sub-series consists of despatches to the Admiralty from admirals attached to squadrons or stationed in North American waters. The despatches and enclosures were retained and the despatches numbered according to the station and date of receipt in London. The alphabetical representation used to designate letters received from various ports was purely arbitrary. The complete list can be found in the introduction to the List of Admiralty Records (on microfilm reel B-1465). Of use to Canadian researchers are: O, North America; P, Jamaica; T, Newfoundland. Vols. 230, 233-236, 240-241, 283-304, "Jamaica"; Vols, 305-307, 312, 315 and 317, "Leeward Islands"; Vols. 470-479, "Newfoundland"; Vols. 480-509, "North America"; Vols. 510-517, "Halifax"; Vol. 577, "Unemployed"; Vol. 887, "Admirals at Naval Stations: Plymouth".
