[Extract]
Private.

We are obliged to use all Means to procure fresh Provisions, and to fit out our Transports & put Troops on Board to bring live Stock to us from where it is to be had. The Rebels have fitted out some Privateers to intercept our Supplys, and we are informed of one of two cruizing in the Bay of Fundy to take any thing coming here from that part of Nova Scotia.
