The Right Hon W. W. Grenville to Governor Phillip
Despatch No. 6 per transport Scarborough

Whitehall, 24th December 1789

Sir,

The second fleet
-------------------
In my letters of the 20th June and 24th August, I informed you that
it was the
intention of Government that a farther number of convicts should be
sent out in
the autumn, with a view of making such arrangements as might be
necessary for
their reception. I am now to acquaint you that measures have been
taken for that
purpose and that 930 males and 78 females have embarked on board the
ships named
in the margin, now assembled at Spithead and in readiness to depart
the moment
the wind proves favourable for their proceeding down the Channel
(Surprise,
Scarborough, Neptune)

The number of female convicts bearing a great disproportion to that
of the
males, it was thought advisable that such of the latter as were
married should
be allowed to take their wives with them on board the ships in which
they have
been embarked, or even women that cohabited with them; but
notwithstanding the
indulgence held out to them of supplies of provisions and clothing,
very few of
the two latter descriptions of women have been prevailed upon to
accede to the
proposal. Such of them, however, as shall arrive within the limits of
your
Government are to be furnished with same proportions of those
articles as the
female convicts.
