I do therefore again in the Strongest manner desire of you and
your Province that you will without fail as you shall answer for the
Consequences use your utmost Endeavours to procure and Send me
a Number of Such Recruits. If I had this Regiment Compleated
directly I should hope to be able to Act and Remove those Danger-
ous Circumstances under which his Majesty's Colonies do now
Labour; in Consequence of his Majesty's positive Orders I must
Require of you to lay a Prohibition on the Exportation of all man-
ner of Provisions, as the Sending out such at this time will not only
Supply the French every where and enable them to act against us,
but in a very Essential manner Distress his Majesty's Service here
as I do not know how soon I may want all that the Colonies can
Furnish.
I am with great Truth and Regard.
Sir, Your most Obedient
Humble Servant
The Honble Horatio Sharpe Esq.r Loudoun
