HoNB^^^ S'' -- By intelligence we haue from the Major Gen' Winthrop from Wooden Creek, we understand to our great griefe, that the armies march towards Canada though advancd far, is all retarded by the faylure of the Indians to accompany them and furnish them with Cannoes (which account' he had from your Commissioners at Albany) we suppose you cannot but haue a full acco* of the whole of that matter and whither it will admit of any timely cure so as may render our forces seruiceable at this juncture we fear much. It was much our hopes that the Bay hauing set out soe braue a Fleet who sayled this day fortnight that the forces from Albany would haue happily had, & given advantage to the fleet.
