[Boston] 19 [October]
The Merlin came in two or three days ago as Convoy to some Transports with fuel &c for the Garrison, an article that every mean was used to procure. And the Falcon returned Yesterday from New Providence, but without the Cannon or Artillery Stores which General Gage had desired might be shipped, the president of the Counsil writing to Captain Linzee . . . on the Subject.
