I am Favoured with your Letter of the 18th Instante; I hope By this time the Provisions I Sent you by Capt. Nickells are Safe Arrived: you Must send to Colonel Monckton for the Ammunition you Want, as also for Molasses to the People; Which I think are in Every Respect Preferable to Rum: I have mentioned in my Letter it in my Letter of this Day to the Colonel, And if the Warren be not Saild with the Provisions which Captain Murray has Ordered her to Bring you Before my Letter Gets to Chignecto She will take in what is wanted; If She is Gone, the Colonel will Send them by the First Oppertunity, And then you will have it in your Power to Make the People easy; as to the Arrears you mention to be Due to them. I am Positive that your Detachment, with the Troops which are at Pisiquid will Be lntirely Sufficient for the Servise you are Going Upon so that you can have no need of Reinforcements from Chignecto. It is Impossible to Spare you Any Rangers at Present, But Capt. Murray
