Oswego Sloop at Oswego July 2d. 1756 



Sir 



I informed you in my last of the 28th of June, of our meeting with the French 

 on the Lake the Day before; Since which there are Batteaus arrived with Sails, 

 and Six Six Pounders, Ten Four Pounders and Fourteen Swivels, the Brig and the 

 Sloop will be Launched tomorrow, which I shah fit out with all Possible dispatch, 

 and distribute the Canon that is come up between them, untill ye others come up. 

 Three of the French Vesseis appear'd of this Place in the Evening of ye 28th,^ one 

 of them chased one of the Small Schooners, that was out for intelligence, within 

 three or four miles of the Harbour; the other Small Schooner I am afraid they have 

 taken, as I have heard nothing of her, since the Day we fell in with the French 

 Vessels. 



As there is Timber enough Cut, with Iron and all other materials here, I thought 

 it for the good of his Majestys Service, to build a Small Vessel as a Tender, in the 

 Place of the one I apprehend is taken. 



I am Sir 



Your most Humble Servt.
