note
Joshua Humphries drafted the first portion of this report (Dimensions and sizes of Materials for building a Frigate of 44 Guns) and Barry, Dale and Truxton appear to have appended a list of materials and articles required by such a ship (Indent for the Materials for a 44 Gun Frigate).
created note
Humphries report (first) is undated but is likely to have been drawn up at very nearly the same time as the addendum by Barry, Dale and Truxton, which was dated 06/19/1794.
