Expects the quick arrival of Lord Loudoun and Major General Abercombie, but in the meantime, urges Webb to "take upon you the Command in North America, supercede Maj. Genl. Shirley, & do all the Good, & prevent all the Mischief that you can." Noted as a copy in the upper left hand corner. Watermarked with a large nine cm. seal on the first leaf and a smaller seal on the second leaf bearing the letters GR with a crown.
