Williamsburg Apl 5th 1757.
Sir

found a Letter from Govr Lyttleton, who is very apprehensive
the French design to invade So Carolina by Sea from Hispaniola
& by Land from Mississippi, & has wrote fully to Lord
Loudoun on that Head desirg assistance, which I forward with
this.
I have order'd Colo Washington to march down to Fred-
ericksburg 200 of the men from Fort Cumberland, to be
transported to So Carolina, not doubting but You have order'd
Your Forces to garison that Fortress in the room of the Vir-
ginians, & I think [proper to] acquaint You therewith, that no
Delay may be given to the Assistance of Mr Lyttleton.
I have been confin'd to my Chamber ever since arrival by a
violent Cold.— The Expresses Colo Tasker was so kind to send
were paid here — My Complimts to Mr Ridout & I remain with
great Regard & Esteem
