NOTE. Apparently several leaves are here missing. At the top of [19] occur some lines which seem to be a part of a postscript of a letter from Caulfeild to Nicµolson, to this effect: C. would have sent the ordnance account, but the master gunner reports that it was made up until Vane went away, nothing material has occurred since, is expecting orders from the Board, and he will do it all in one.

Encloses account of clothing stores, actual state; with certificate from Capoon "our Comsry of provitions who had Leave from me to go to a fishery of his own ye coast, and had to ye value of 100 lb. delived him to be disposed of." Certificate shows at what price the French buy the same clothing from “ye New England people," who bought them for much less of Gen. Nicholson. H. can judge that the rates to us are excessive. Desires directions therein, the officers and soldiers being iriformed thereof (this sharp practice?) and think the hardships too great.
To Mr. How.
