[St. Clair to Sharpe.]
Winchester June 3d 1758
Dear Governor.
I find it impossible for Me to carry on the Service to the
Likeing of every Body without having a Meeting with Colo
Bouquet; as he proposes to leave Carlisle on Monday I have
wrote to him to come to Conogogee on Teusday, which I dare
say he will agree to, and I have told him you will be at our
Congress. Should Colo Bouquet not come it is highly neces-
sary I should see you to regulate the Affair of your Forces
which I received a Power to do last Night. Colo Byrd comes
with Me, so remember some Provision may be wanted, I have
nothing of that Kind with Me at this Place.
I have received 17 Carbines from Fort Cumberland and
Nothing else, whenever your Arms come here, I shall send
Them to Frederick Town, they are good for Nothing. I must
entreat you to send Me 200 Firelocks, besides those I wrote
to you for, as I shall want Them, and enquire if any Blankets
are at Frederick Town, that we may send for Them if wanted.
I shoud be glad, if any are to be bought at Bladensburg, you
