Has heard a report that another ordinance ship with a large quantity of powder has been captured. Believes that all the troops recruited have set sail. Hears that Mr. Faneuil is coming to England and asks that hi be given a note enclosed if he has not already left. Suggests that he send him some American salt fish if it be plentiful. Has just received a letter from Sister Bromfield and has also heard from the Startins and the Lees. General Gage is away. Desires to know whether or not he received the provisions.
