 154 Correspondence of Governor Sharpe.
Letter Bk. III Inst. The men that are in Garrison at Fort Cumberland
being in number about 300 have continued to .serve without
Pay since the 8 of Octr as well as those that are at Fort Fred-
erick but as it could not be expected that their Officers would
be able to keep them together much longer I lately wrote to
the Commander in Chief as well as to Colo Stanwix & desired
that some other Troops might be ordered to Fort Cumberland
which I presume will be done as soon as the Roads become
practicable. I thought it incumbent on me to make such
Application lest Accidents should happen but I still hope that
when I communicate to the Assembly the Contents of Your
last Letters the Consideration of what our most gracious
Sovereign & the Parliament of Great Britain have already
done for us together with the certain prospect of an active
Campaign & the hopes of some Compensation for what they
may expend will induce them to contribute towards the
Execution of the plan that Brigadier Forbes is directed to
pursue —
