Likewise inform’d that the fleet has not yet Sailed: The Transports which came from Quebeck are yet at the Hook. The men that was [pressd] out of them when they arrived are all Ordered to be Returnd to the Ships from which they were taken. I have the Honor to be with Every Sentiment of respect Your Excellencys most Obedient and most Humble Servant
Jno. Pray Capt.
