Since my last of the 26th ultimo, Mr. Delancey of the 18th. Regiment of Dragoons, and Doctor [Myles] Cooper President of the Colledge, were Obliged to come onboard here for Protection, and as I expect more Friends to Government will be Obliged to do the same, must beg You will be pleased to give me an Order to bear all such as Supernumeraries.
The Committee has come to a Resolution not to suffer any Provisions to be sent to Boston, by much ado, have got a Supply this Day, it being taken out of the Contractors Vessel twice by the Mob. As I can not get any Stores here of any kind, request You will Order the different Stores as inclosed to be forwarded for which will take care to send proper Receipts.
As the People are all up in Arms here, since the Accounts from Boston, of the Skirmich between the Regulars & Provincials, think a reinforcement of Shipping Necessary.
