Full Description:
McLean to Clinton. Halifax. Barracks needed. There is not a sufficiency for 1,200 men so therefore has desired Captain Spry to make an estimate for one to contain 400 men. Transmits it for His Excellency's directions but thinks it rather high. Provisions greatly needed and the season approaches for supplying their outposts.
