Annapolis, (in Maryland,) February 6. Extract of a letter
from a gentleman at Will's Creek, to his friend here, dated
January 27. 1755.
"Yesterday arrived here Sir John St. Clair, Bart. Colonel
and Quarter-Master General to his Majesty's troops intended

Governor Sharpe.----

Creek, and some young Maryland gentlemen (true patriots) are
gone from thence as voluntiers:. . . [3 more lines]
