I Send you my Letter to Peruse which I beg you will Send me Back again by the bearer you will See the Govr Presses us to Send the Dispatches with all Possable Dilligence to Monckton, you are a Much Better Judge of Sea Matters then I Can possibly be, but as the Season is Now so far advanced as to Make the weather uncertain for Boats I Think the Warren Might be Spared for that Duty as Taggert is there to Gaurd the Transportes, So Soon as Mr. Fassett returns, I Shall Come Down with him or by Water. please to Let me Know what you resolve on as to the Warren and belive me Dear Most Truly yours.

Probys Command as were Originally intended to be Sent from Mines Basin, you will please to take Care that Mr. George Saul Do Not Exceed his Instructions with regard to the Victualling, and I hope I need Not to recomend it to you to Lose no time in Getting the People of your hands as Fast as Possible, as the Detention of them is a very Heavy Exspence as well as a Great Hinderance to the Public Service — I am Sir your Most obediant Humble Servant.
