Title A name given to the resource Letter to Mary Boltwood Subject The topic of the resource United States -- History -- French and Indian War, 1755-1763 Description An account of the resource Letter to Mary Boltwood from her husband on the day before he says he is to set sail with a large contingent of soldiers, from Lake George to Ticonderoga. Fort Ticonderoga controlled the route between the Hudson River Valley and Canada in the wars of the eighteenth century. In 1755, Ticonderoga (Fort Carillon to the French) was built by the French on a military road on an Indian portage between the two lakes. The area then became an active place of fighting between the Indians, French, British, and Americans. General Jeffery Amherst captured the fort in late July, 1759, several weeks after this letter was written. Letter is incomplete. In this letter the word "battos" means "bateaux" -- a long, tapering, flat-bottomed river boat.

New York March y(?) 5th 1759. Sir I have received your letter of the 26th of February, since which date the Carpenters will undoubtedly have very soon arrived at Albany, as they were dispatched from hence at the intended time. I have advertised that the advance money for the Battoes men should be paid on the 20th of march instead of the 10th (something?) as you will see by the enclosed. The difference of time for the ox team drivers & waggoners is so small that I have made no alteration in that. As all the Persons who were to enter into this service are to send their names to you as by the first advertisements, I think it is better you should either send a proper Person or fix(?) on any one you may Lt Col Bradstreet D J(?) Master General know [page 2] know at or near the Towns where the advance pay is to be issued, who may be a proper Judge, and will take care that none may receive the advance pay but such as appear fit for the service, and of course are under the Captains who will have applyed to you, they are afterwards to be reviewed by proper officers at Albany. Captain Lowning(?) is at present employed in building whale Boats intended for the service of Troops in the Transport Ships. I would be prepared for every thing that the Situation of the Enemy and the numbers of His Majestys Troops which are to act this Campaign may put in my Power to attempt, I have named the 10th of April to press things forward as much as I can, and I would begin to act from the first moment that the season(?) will permit, at the same time I am to tell you in confidence that the time prescribed to me from England is the first of may, and as that will give you time for building Battoes at Albany, for any service that may be [page 3] hearafter thought proper to execute(?) by the Lake ontario, I shall be very glad that you will be prepared for it, as you will have the workmen with you. this will take off a very great expence that would be incurred in building them at Boston, Capt Lowning(?) may finish what he is about there, and then I think the sooner he comes to Albany the better. I have given a warrant to you on Mr Mortier(?) for £3000, that he may give you the necessary credit for paying the advance Pay to the Battoes men vea.(?) and as Mr. Normandy has acquainted me he waited for your orders, I send him to you with this which will be quicker than the Post, and give you time for sending proper People to the Towns where the Battoes Men yea(?) are to repair. The Purchases of oxen & Horses must yet remain some little time for no money is come, you will however be prepared and at a certainty where to have them when called for. I send you a copy of another advertisement I have though proper to [page 4] to publish, that the country people may not suffer through any Ignorance of not knowing where to apply Mr Mortier(?) has just now Lent me a Bill of exchange for £1000, and he will write to you and give you proper credit for the £2000 remaining of the warrant I have signed. The Draft for £1000 (something?) (something) currency is enclosed herewith. as I will not detain Mr. Normandy, but that he may set off directly I shall only write a few Lines to (something) General Gage. You will therefore be so good to shew him this letter with the enclosed advertisements.
