I mentioned in my Last Letter to your Excelency1 that I would Transmit the Inteligence that Should be Brot, from Canada by Capt. Travisie, who has returned but the two Indians that went with him and Proceeded amongst the Inhabetants are not returned, So that no inteligence is yet obtained by that Party. Since the Snow has been gone I have Sent Seven men Into Canada who are to Tarry near Quebeck untill Some arivals of Shiping when two of them are to return the others to Tarry untill the 25th of May, unless they make Some Meterial Discovery before that Time.
