New York, 2d. July 1762.

Sir,

On the 26th. Ultimo I had the Favor of your Letter of the 9th. and am extremely glad to find you had then One Hundred Recruits Enlisted for the Regular Service: I therefore now send Lieut. Williamos in the Brig Endeavour, with Orders to Review the Men, & pay them the King's Bounty, & the Officers the Rewards, agreable to my first promise, tho' I think it would be much better for the Men, that they did not Receive theirs untill they Arrived at this Place, which Lieut. Williams will fully Explain to you; However if they Insist upon it, he is to pay them. By the time this Vessell Arrives, I flatter Myself you will have been able to Compleat the Quota required, and therefore She is Victualled for the Whole Number, & will proceed to this place, so soon as they are Embarked.

I am, with great Regard,

Sir, &ca.

Jeff: Amherst.
