This morning I was
ordred off with 200 men across the lake in order to git sum spruce. Capt Brewer
of the Rangers went to pilot us; when we got a shore we march with front, rear,
& flank guards. Returnd without any molestation from ye enemy; brought a
fine quantity of spruce. The commanding officer on the station gave us his
thanks for the service we had done.
