CLARKE TO THE COMMANDER AT OSWEGO. [Lond. Doc. XXV.]

Sir

-- am truly sorry

New York Nov'r 1st 1736. to hear so

many complaints of your conduct at Oswego.

I hope for better

things, but am now in fear, if some better care be not taken, that the Garrison will all desert or perish for wr ant of provision of which I am told there is no

manner of Oconemy

;

it behooves

you, Sir, to

be very circumspect, and I earnestly recommend to you, to keep good dissipline, and to take care of the provissions and of the security of the house and garrison.

M Beauharnois complained to me of your Commanding a French Canoe a shore, which was pass1'

ing by, I assured him I wo'd enquire into it, and I hope you will be able to acquit yourself of what

he lays to your charge. I desire you will be very vigilant and guard carefully against all surprizes of the Indians or others, Capt: Dick will convey this to you to whom you ought to give an account of your Garrison by all opportunity's as he is the Commanding Officer on the Frontiers. Capt. Congreve.
