[Extract]
Lord Dunmore remains at Gosport, the Mercury and Mars [sic!] are with him, he has a ship fitting up on board of which he will remain till he can get some forces or the times alter, he is most unjustly and ungenerously used in this colony, to serve which he risked his life and has really its good very much at heart. He has lately had 60 soldiers from St. Augustine and expects 40 more daily, they are part of the 14th Regt which were at the Negroe hunt at St. Vincent's.2
