Garrison of Dumbarton be
reduced to ct new Establishment

Governour & Captain
1 Leiftenant
1 Serjeant
2 Corporalls

the original order to Skifnish John
who will likewise send it you, but
I writ this for fear of the others
not coming in time. pray since there are to be but
15 let them be full, I am very sorry for the poor
men, I believe every body knows this is ct time when
I can neither do nor hinder any thing & when I received
