as respects M^r Dickinson and others requires no answer from
them. We have inclosed you an order on the E. S. Treasurer
for £100, which we hope will be sufficient for the present.
The Council desire you will furnish them with an acco^t of the
expenditure of the money they have already advanced you
towards clothing the Troops &^c they have determined not to
advance any more money without Acc^ts being produced to
them.

To Lieut. Bennett Bracco

Sir.

We have this minute received your favour of the 26^th
Instant, p^r Sergeant Smith and are much concerned to hear
the small pox has broke out among the Party under your
command. We think it most advisable that all the men under
your command who have not had the small pox, should be
immediately innoculated and desire you would apply to Doct^r
Craig for that purpose you will make the best bargain you
can with the Doctor; all necessary expences will be paid by the
Council in behalf of the Province.
