Sir,  Having this moment learned from Mr Stephens that the Magdalene Schooner is not yet Sailed with my Dispatch of the 8th instant I think it my Duty to inclose Copies of two Dispatches to Major General Howe which will inform you off the further arrangement made in respect to the five Regiments now under orders of Embarkation at Corke ー

As there are onboard the Transports that take in those Regiments a great many necessary Stores for the Army under General Howe, it is very much to be Wished that if they get up to Quebec they may be ordered immediately after the Troops are landed, to proceed to Boston, or to wherever the Army under Major General Howe may be; But you may nevertheless take out such part of those Stores as you shall think may be wanted for the Troops under your Command I am Sir [&c.]
