Camp at Reastown 2^d October 1758.
Sir
About this time we expect their will be a number of the
Shannando Waggons arriving at Fort Cumberland with pro-
visions from Winchester; the General therefore begs that
you will be so good to engage as many of them as possible,
upon the same terms as the Pensylvania Waggons, to go upon
our Expedition, and that you will take the opportunity of their
coming here, to send over all the Buck shott at Fort Cumber-
land, seven Boxes containing two hundred wight each, were
lodg'd in the new store under the hill, which was sent from
Fort Frederick along with the shelles six hundred wight was
likewise lodg'd in store that was blowen up, if any of that
Remains undistroyed, you will send it also, and provided the
Carriages can be ready time enough, they may take the bene-
fite of the officers & thirty men sent from the second Virginia
Regiment for horses, to escort them, if this party marches
before that the Waggons can be got Ready they must be
escorted by the Recover'd men of the Virginia Regiments
If there are any spair Wheels, or carriages for Hovitzers be
pleas'd to send them likewise in some of the empty Waggons,
