LETTER FROM JOHN WArrEN.
Port Erie, 22 Nov., 1780.
Dear Sir: —I received yours of the Felicity and have sent by Mr. McCaslan a list of the goods that will remain here all winter, but as for sending a recapitulation of the whole forwarded, it is out of my power, as I have often . shipped goods from the Faith on board other vessels and as often received goods from Fort Schlosser without any bill of lading, and have found them when so sent so incorrect as not often to agree with the packages' I shall therefore refer you to the different lists sent up by comparing the whole of which, with the list of those things remaining will I hope give you the satisfaction you require. Both my stores are quite full of provisions, I am about getting a Root house sufficient to store the goods in for the winter.
I am sir wishing you a pleasant winter,
Your humble servant,
John Warren.
Mr. Mabbet stays here until the goods are under cover, and then goes down to Niagara, as you mentioned.
