nished with Ammunition, and have a standing order to march
to the Aid and Assistance of the Forces already appointed on
the Requisition of the Commander of them, and that this
Order should be more particularly given and enforced in such
Parts of your Province as are most nearly situated to those
Forces or the Passes through which the Enemy can enter
without waiting for any further orders from you: From your
Zeal for the Public Service I cannot doubt of your complying
with this Recommendation, and hope if the necessary orders
are given, and strictly obeyed by them to receive the same
Benefit from your Militia that we did lately on the Enemy's
Attempt on Fort William Henry from the Militia in the upper
parts of this Country. I shall send a Copy of this to Colo
Stanwix, to whom by Philadelphia I desire you will communi-
cate the Orders you give, and to whom, that he may know
what Officers of your Militia to call upon on any Emergency,
and that you will likewise transmit a Copy to me at New
York
I am with great Regard Sir
Your most obedt hble servt
