ESQ® MCNACHTON TO COL. FANNING.

Sir

Esqts Monro & Skeen being indisposed & living at a great distant the Expell'd people sent me word & I met them at Dr Clarks house in New Perth this day, Issued warrants to apprehend the New Hampshire rioters & traitors but their number & Situation in the mountains in such that I am of Opinion no Sheriff or constable will aprehend them That it will be highly necessary for His Majestys Peace & the relief of these distrest highlanders who fought valiently thro' the last campaign that His Excellency in Council Issue His Proclamation offering a reward for apprehending those abominable wretches That then some person of their own sort will artfully betray them This I only sugest in all humility but on the very Eve of a long hard winter it is very Schocking to see so many poor familys reduced to so great Distress and if they had not been hospitably entertained by the Rev'd Mt Clark & his people their Straits must have been exceeding great.
