Description
Capts. Field, Stanton, and two more, are with him; sends Thomas Spencer to say that the garrison is quite destitute of men; a company of militia would be of great service as Col. Bouquet cannot spare one man; Capt. Robinson of the 77th and Capt. Murray of the R. Highlanders with their companies had left on the 23rd with their horses laden with musket ball; Col. Bouquet will leave Bedford to-day or tomorrow with an escort of 700 horses with ammunition and provisions for the relief of [Fort] Pitt, which it is hoped he may reach; asks for a company to be stationed at the New Store or at Cumberland, as they may waylay the savages at Ice's place, for parties of them are constantly passing to and from the South Branch; has not ten men he can trust and begs for help till he can hear from Col. Bouquet; the two expresses he had sent to Pitt on the 19th were gone, as the pistol he had loaned to one of them had been left by the party that attacked Cresap's fort; was attacked on the 19th at night by a party that fired ten or twelve guns, then left doing no harm; James Weir has gone to Bedford to enlist with the Pennsylvania Rangers. In a postscript states that Col. Bouquet has five or six hundred men.
