Sir - Yours by Capt Ladd I recd am very much obliged to your Honour for the favour, and where as your Honour said you had for- warded my Letters to Gen1 Washington and that I shod hear from your Honour in 20 days from that Time, and our situation being such I look upon it as my Duty to put your Honour in mind that we are destitute of Blankets Ammunition &c. to defend ourselves or the Stores in Case any attack shod be made by the Enemy - Gen1 Washington in his Letter the middle of Decr informs me that he had sent the Resolves of Congress with his own Dispatches to me relating the Cloathing &c of my Regt by Lt Colº Wheelock, I have never heard from him nor yet seen the Resolves - In your Honrs Directions to me you desire I wod furnish Capt Traversie and some Indian Chiefs with Cloathing which I wod do with the greatest Chearfullness was it in my power, but no such articles at present are to be had here Lieut Fisk a Gentleman of undoubted veracity waits upon your Honour with this, who supplies the Inhabitants in this Place with foreign Goods will take in his charge any thing your Honour may please to send, and see the same faithfully delivered - I hope by this Time your Honour has recd orders from his Excellencies relating this Quarter which I hope your Honour will please to Com- municate to me by the Bearer that I may be able to Govern myself accordingly and know what is to be done - We have Constantly the most favourable Intelligence we can expect from Canada by Indians who are daily coming in here from that Quarter -and that the In- habitants wait for us with the greatest Impatience - I have upwards of 200 Men constantly on Duty here and not more than 50 Blankets and the Barracks not made comfortable as yet
I am your Honours most Obt Hble Servt
