 leave, so wishes merely to acknowledge his kindness in looking after his

 Ticonderoga and Crown Point being reduced, thinks the same results 

 may be expected at Quebec; the French intimidated by such rapid con- 

 quests. Sends affectionate remembrances to Billy. A. L. S. i p. I, 57-

 conderoga; forces bombarding Quebec. No. 2, copy of letter I, 57. 

 No. 3, dated Aug. 22, 1759. Sent these letters before but the ship
