SIR,

I Received your very Polite Letter by Lievt. Fitch. And assure you I will do everything in my Power to assist & take Care of Poor Sick Lads, but must desire youll be so kind as to Send up Some Medicines as those you Sent by Lt. Fitch were Lost with Five of your Men in Crossing the Piziquid River. Lt. Crooker who was here with your Boats Crew received the Letters and Medicines from me before Eight o Clock in the Morning but loytered away his time at Les Denniers and other Places So Long that when I was Informed of a Party Crossing the River it was Past half an Hour after Ten. When the Tide Overtook them & Carried them with it, Lt. Crooker was Saved Capt. Adams is arived at Mines. I will Settle with him the Securing the Baggage in the best Manner Possible but we have no Place within the Fort to Put it in. I give you Joy of the New Year, and am Sir, your Obedient Humble Servant.
