Letter from Samuel Mott to Governour Trumbull. Preparations making by General Carle ton to invade the Colonies. At St. Johns there are forty Indians, and at Montreal five hundred, to join the Regulars. The reason of our not being in better preparation here is owing to the negligence of New-York. The General drives on things as fast as he can, considering the hindrances he has; but what can be done in the war with but few Men, and less Provisions and Ammunition, and not a Tent to encamp the Men in? |
