Description
He sent an earlier letter by Maj. [John] Brown, and, in the absence of his correspondent, an answer was returned by Gen. Montgomery; a few Indians from St. Louis have joined the troops at St. John's; the whole force of Indians, including those brought by Col. Johnston [Guy Johnson] is about 400; the Canadians have waited with impatience for the coming of his correspondent; he hopes to revive their spirits with circulars, and with what men he can muster he will join the party to be sent to this side of the river; the troops are now mostly at St. John's, well fortified, with cannon; had he had five hundred men he could have taken all their ammunition as they passed his door; Carleton cannot leave Quebec for fear of a revolt, but he has offered a hundred acres of land at Boston or New York to every Canadian who will turn out; Col. [Allen] McLean has orders from the King to raise regiments on those terms, but from Three Rivers to Chambly he did not get a man; urges his correspondent to make haste and unite this province with the others contending for liberty.
