Port, K our good Citisens have been much dif.
turbcd by the xb.rft4 converfations of Mr. Dear
borne with the Officers of the different gsrrif-
fons here. Two of the forts planned by Colo
louhard are completed bar two more which
ne traced out remain Skeetons-We arc shuied
by Gentienen who converted with Mr. Dear
borne that he wd have thefc forti6cations COM
Ple'ed. Doing 20, fir, will give much uneaG-
neis to our Citizens. Prior TO our contention
with France labourers got here three quarters Of
dollar per day-Colo Toufard, without en@
curing about our prices. Immediately on conf
ing here, gave dollar day, & Afterwards a.
dollar half-.his proved Wait injary TO our
Farmers, who TO make their HarveA were COM
Pellcd 10 give one dollar & half for Labourers.
when prior to the building of forrs they never
paid more than 7S(Ioo. The price Of labour-
ers IS again dowu--bot fhould Notifications BE-
recommenced we fhsll again be coerced TO pay
thro' the nofe for all kind OF help. As you
might not have known thefe things take the
liberty, luxurious fir, of communicating them.
Forts are not wanted here-we already have
two, each being gsrrifroned with an entire
company expoies US TO the inconvenience of
having our Town often diaurbed by Bands Of
licentious Soldiers paTading our Streets when
drunk. This il mott obnoxious TO the habits
OF our People. l returned yelferdsy from Bof-
