:   Dearest Uncle,
:        I know when we last spoke,I mentioned that my next letter to you would be after we reached Ft. Frederick, well something is afoote
: and I thought it best to send this whilst my sences remain clear!
:        There appears some strange illness has arose here and has claimed our own Sgt. MacWilliam's mindset,and very possible that of his relation Pvt. Gunn. They speak in an odd language quite like Dutch,yet different, something like a drunken highlander speaking his native tongue,but worse! There is great consern from Regt. as well as the entire stockade. And I also wanted to relay that I may not be going to Ft. Frederick after all,there appears to be a commanders meeting in Albany with Gen.Webb? If the Provincal Units are included mayhaps I'll see you there? 
:      Have you been to Carlisle as of late? Have you any news of my Mothers well being?
:      My brother sends his well wishes!
:    All my best to you.
:   "Your most humble servant"
