Full Description:
Carleton to Brigadier-General John Campbell. New York. Number 2. Secret. Expects a reinforcement from Europe to arrive at Halifax. Should any part be destined for the district under Campbell's command [i.e. Nova Scotia] he is to let them be disembarked; the rest to sail for this port. Recommends attention to the post of Penobscot [in Maine] which is of great importance; also economy in public expenditure. Requests report of the produce of his district, where troops may be quartered, and the number of men able to carry arms.
