Physical Description
A.L.S. Endorsed. 2 pp. Fo
Description
He has made a return of the forces, guns, etc.; can say little as to Carleton's movements; there are 250 regulars at St. John's fortifying and building vessels; he will take every opportunity to inform the Canadians of friendly intentions towards them, but they are cautious and the passes are guarded; he has sent a committee to Skeensborough to inquire into affairs there; they should be put under some new regulations; the place is kept at present by some men put there by Mr. Arnold. A postscript speaks of difficulties in the matter of provisions; hopes for better times on Schuyler's arrival.
