the same favour of him.

In this part of his Majestys Dominions Things have remained
in the situation they were in when I took the Liberty to address
myself to you in August: this morning I was informed that
a party of Indians have been seen on this Side Fort Cumber-
land, but as I have ordered a party of Men in pursuit of them
I hope they will not be able to do much mischief. I learn that
Coll Dunbar is embarking the Troops under his Command at
Amboy in New Iersy in order to convey them to Albany
where General Shirley designs they shall take up their winter
quarters.
With the greatest Respect I am
Rt Hble Sr Yr mo devoted humb. Servt
