Secys Office Halifax 17th Feby: 1776.
Sir.
I have receiv'd your letter signifying the present disposition of the Indians on St Johns River, which I laid before the Governor, who is well satisfied with the account, and relies on you for preserving them in the same good temper, and to assure them, that they shall have every necessary of which they shall stand in need, on their arrival here. before this time I suppose you will have receiv'd dispatches by Couriers who left this the 21st last Month. 2 I am Sir &c
