Title continues: "Able Mitchener Commander. Kept by William Pell, 1750." Log book. The ship made land at Block Island on 29 November 1750. On the verso of the first leaf of the log is the draft of a letter from Pell to James Gray of London in which he reports a pleasant voyage of twenty days from Rhode Island to London; this letter is dated 17 January 1750, but whether it is misdated or it refers to a previous voyage is unclear. Sewn.
