My Dear [?Sir]
I take the liberty of addressing you in [behalf]
of the Indians to the amount of about 100
of them who from sickness then [illegible]
at Halifax, - fled from Dartmouth
and Shubenacadie Lake to this place, last
summer, Such work as thay [they] [?are conformed]
to and usually do. the neighbourhoods
are soon supplyed [supplied] with, and although
kindly [illegible], they [?at persuit] with
their children are very destitute not
only of provisions - but of Cloathing.
Such articles as [?unservicable]
Blankets Great Coats &c. would be a very
great boon to them, A few (say) 6 or 12 --
[unservicable] fire [?locks] such as they might
get repaired would be very [?exceptable]
