"Dear Sir
On the 6 Inst Hugh Sabbeston arrived here from the Jack River. after resting six days here I despatched him with 13 peices of Trading Goods for that place. The 12 Inst which Day Mefs Sutherland Longmoor Isham & Fidler arrived from Inland with part of a large Trade from the upper Settlements. Mr Sutherland has left two large Batteux's at the head of the Trout River containing 100 Bdles of Furs. the men will be despatched for that place on the 14th and as soon as he has laid their Cargoes out you may expect a Visit from these Gentlemen. My provisions will run very short consid'g I have 117 Men to provide for. I am much affraid it will stop the Building. Edw'd Rofsie & James Rofsie will accompany the Boat to York this Day. I remain etc.

"Mr Whitford
sir
You will herewith receive the undermentioned Provisions for the supply of the men with you. when I have an opportunity I will send you more
1 Large Cask of Flower & 33 Rundlets 499 lbs.
1 Flitch of Bacon 60 lbs
2 Rundlets Pease 16 Galls
1 Rundlet Vinegar 8 Galls
3 Cheshire Cheese
The provisions for the Canoes going Inland are inserted in the Boats Cargo Book should the men require afsistance from you during their stay supply them with what you can spare, observe at the same time there will be no opportunity of sending you any thing of this kind untill after the departure of the Ship.
I am of the opinion that we shall not have half a Sufficiency of Provisions to support in untill the time when supplies are rec'd from England. York Ware Houses do not contain enough Trading Goods to give Indians their Winters debt many articles in particular are wanted at this Season our Powder is nearly exhausted & the last Cask is in broach so soon as the Ship arrives I shall dispatch a Canoe by which I shall write you
Be Particular and send an account of remains at Gordon House by the first Canoes that come down to York. It was with difficulty I could prevail on Tradesmen to accompany the Boats they say they cannot live on the allowance of half a pint of Flower per Day without other food which has induced me to send this Quantity as above to forward the Buildings. this distrefses us very much.
Never I believe was York Ware Houses in such an impoverished state as they are at this time. I expect Mr Sutherland will leave the Factory the day after the Boats he will settle with you the Men that are to bring the Mercury back with the Furs as well as those that are to remain at Gordon house to afsist in Building etc.
I remain yours etc.

On the 21 Inst Mr Oman arrived from Trout River to await the arrival of Canoes from York Fort which arrived here on the 30 Inst and with the news of the Mercury entering Hill River.
Eku nefscum arrived here and brought me 150 lbs of Dried Meat which I immediately Traded & served to 30 Men which just afforded them a Day and the Men at the House 3 Day so small a Quantity could not be expected go verry far among so many Men. it has distrefsed me verry much which I shall feel the effects if the Natives do not afsist me. I had no Flower, Oatmeal or Scotch Barley left when the first fleet of Canoes set off. it has been with great difficulty that I have procured provisions for the Men. I have every thing ready to send down by the Boat. Should have sent the [Accounts?] of Mens Canoe Cargoes at this time if the Men were finished taking up their Debts.

Your letter of the 31st of last month by the 3 Ind. are received. having no powder or a proper afsortment of Goods in the Ware House we are obliged to relinquish the Athapascow Expedition this Season. indeed I have no sufficient provisions to fit out the Canoes which accompany Mr Rofs you are therefore to supply him with a Keg of Butter and a bag of Scotch Barley. the men likewise who are in the Canoe with him are to have a bag of the latter. So soon as the Ship arrives I shall dispatch Indians to Gordon House with all the Letter & parcels that shall come out for you or the men with you. I can by no means agree to you coming to the Factory at Shiptime. enough has been said on this businefs in England already about so many Officers from Inland being here at that busy Season. You will have sufficient? time to answer your Letters by the return of Indians I send with the Packet.
Be particularly careful in taking account of Goods & the Numbers & articles each Steersman takes away in his Canoe on his leaving Gordon House. If young Smith should accompany these Canoes Inland you are to supply him with necefsary provisions for the pafsage

This has been a trying Summer with me I afsure you and not an Indian save one has visited me as yet to what I shall do I cannot tell if the Natives do not come in soon.

I have been waiting with anxious desire to hear from you. no opportunity hath offered since tho the departure of Mefsers Tomison and Sinclair from this place for Inland to send you a Packet until this present. I now send Mr Thomas Colen with Wilks, an Indian and two young Lads John Mowat and John Wafs. they are to remain with you to afford you any afsistance that they are capable of.
The Prince Wales and Queen Charlotte Ships both sailed from here as did the Severn Brig on the 23rd Sept. and for a few Days afterward they had fine weather and a fair wind. The fall commenced soon and very cold yet our River did not freeze over with any Degree of safety to crofs Her until the 27 Instant. We had no hunt of Goose and all Kinds of Game as has been usual here for some time past very scarce. It will give me pleasure to hear that you have experienced the Season more comfortable.
The Honorable Commitee exprefses a desire to have their accounts in this Country more explicate sent them, which I shall endeavour to obey to the best of my power and in order to convey the same sentiments to you It's requisite that you keep a fair and distinct? account for the Hon'ble Commitee's satisfaction of all goods you may receive from this Factory of whatsomever kind, giving a receipt and likewise receiving a receipt for what you may deliver from out your Store House, and as I hinted to you in my last respecting of these matters and no doubt Mr Tomison has likewise, I shall only add that it will be absolutely necefsary for you to begin your accounts from the first August last so that it may correspond with York Factory acc'ts. Let no articles be omitted when you take an overhaul in your Store House. As much trust is impowered to the Master of Gordon House it will be necefsary for him to keep a regular Journal also to be sent home annually.

"Dear Sir
I received your Favour by Mr Tho Colen, two young Men & the Indian Man Wilkes the 9th Inst. I am very sorry I have to announce to you my inability of keeping those Men you have sent to me owing to the great disappointment of not receiving supplys from York this last Fall. The extreme poverty which now reigns all over the Country is truely deplorable. The Indians are all starving for the want of Snowshoes & shoe Leather to go a Hunting with. The Deer are so extremely scarce that not one has been killed this four Months past and not a track to be seen for many days walk all around here.
I have been obliged to supply them with Deer Skins to make them Netting for Snow Shoes etc. 4 Indian Men since that time have brought me a few Jack Fish which is my present subsistance
Ohe che ke sic informs me to let you know that they doubt very much whether They'll be able to pay their Debts This Year or not owing to their families being so weak for the want of provisions. I have Traded about 130 MB from the Indians but no provisions.
With respect to my Honble employers acc'ts you may be afsured I shall do my uttermost endeavour to fulfill their orders with exactnefs
To keep Accounts at this place with exactnefs is utterly impofsible till a more convenient place can be made for the receiving & delivering the Honble Companys property.
I am realy astonished at my superiors in this Country to neglect their Honble Masters Interest so much as to suffer such miserable Huts to contain their property to be exposed to the inclemency of all sorts of Weather notwithstanding I have made several applications but without effect. I have had the honor of holding This Station Seven Years for the Honble Hudsons Bay Company & I am sorry to relate I never had the Command of Good Men to erect a building but quite the reverse, an Instance I have lately experienced by your sending me Jn Mowat who by his most obstinate folly has frozen one of his feet badly, of course he is an Invalid at the House. this Man resided with me four years ago and was dismifsed for his behaviour. The last time I wrote you was by Mr Sinclair who also took down a small Indent of Trading Goods etc. to be sent up in the Fall, your not complying with my request distrefses me very much - as James Halcrows Canoes when last fitted out made a clean succefs?of Trading Goods & Stores for the new Settlements.
I refer you to Mr Tho Colen for further particulars. I conclude with that you and the Gentlemen at your Table may experience better times is the sincere wish of

"Dear Sir
As nothing has pafsed of any consequence since the departure of Tho Colen last Dec. I am sorry I am compelled to send down my three Men Mag Grieve, John Mowat and John Wafs being uncapable to keep them any longer for the want of Provisions. The weather has been remarkably severe lately and there is no Game stirring about any where, every exertion has been made in our Power to keep ourselves but without effect as the Men are by no means capable of snaring Rabbits or Shoot Partridges The very great scarcity Provisions every where this Season I believe is the cause of no Indians visiting since I wrote last, had any Indians arrived here I should certainly have sent one down with these Men. should you think proper to send any supplies to me please to let Magnus Grieve return to me again.

"Dear Sir
Late in the evening of the 20th Instant your three Men arrived here and am sorry to say brought me such accounts of your Distrefses that much grieves me and more so as it is not in my power to afsist you I have at this Instant sixty men to provide for without being able to give them one Days allowance of fresh Provisions altho every exertion is made
You may naturally think by having such a number of Men Several might well be spared to haul such supplies to you as requested. I readily grant you such a thought, but when I inform you that out of the above number of Men not above two or three is capable of going your Distance so as to haul even so much Victuals as to last themselves the Journey to you and back, you will not then I hope be much surprised.
The situation this Winter has been truly miserable what with the continual complaints of sicknefs and want from every quarter belonging to this Place as yet that I have heard from. my greatest Enemy cannot help sympathizing in some Degree for my distrefses - The natives that harbour'd? within some Days walk of this Place were so reduced to a starving state that many of them were obliged to be hauled to the Factory and notwithstanding all my attention two Men fell a victim to mere want before afsistance could be got to them
The Latenefs of the Ships arrival last fall has been severely felt Mr Cook with the greatest part of his Men were under the necefsity of waiting here until her arrival for necefsary articles which he could not conveniently want. On the 24th September he set off in a light Canoe with three Indians as guides - His Men a few Days before - After perservering for some Days thro Fort Nelson River. the Ice at last prevented him from getting scarce above halfway to his highest Settlement as well as his Men whom he had com'd up with. Finding it impofsible to get the Goods he had up in Canoes landed the greatest part and left six Men to secure it in the best manner they were able from being plundered from Annimals. taking the Strongest and best Men for walking with himself to endeavour to get up where he urgently wished. On the 8th Dec. the six Men arrived at the Factory almost entirely spent with Hunger, freezing and other complaints. Mr Tate likewise with eight Men proceeded Inland last fall but by the latenefs of his setting off which he could not do sooner being in want of many necefsaries for making a Settlement in the Bungee Country did not get to the proper place he wished by which means the Indians not knowing of him being in their Country to afsist him with Provisions was under the necefsity of sending three of his Men to the Factory to be provided for, accordingly they and the six Men that came from Fort Nelson River is in the Surgeons List being severely afflicted with the Scurvy. Mowat and Grieve whom I return to you with this, will inform you of the Distrefses of the Factory. they scarce had been two Days here before they wished themselves back again with you, from this you may judge my situation.
Should no Indians visit you with supplies of provisions; for from the Factory it is absolutely out of my power until the River Ice breaks up which I shall then lose no time. You will secure the Goods you have in charge of in the safest manner you are able, so as not to be endangered by natives or Annimals and come to the Factory, but by no means without the greatest necefsity.
If the two Men whom I now send to you should give you any uneasinefs to get provisions for & you rather be without them and remain with your Family at Gordon House send them down to the Factory. The articles you wrote for are complied with as per List. May helth and plenty be your Companion. I remain

" In the evening of the 10th Inst. Mag Grieve and John Mowat arrived here from York when they delivered me Your Letter together with Trading Goods etc. all safe, a receipt for the same is now sent. It gives me great concern to hear such melancholy accounts from all parts and truly do I wish from my heart that it be made better times.
For my part I have not the least prospect of any amendment of any better or at least at present, for I have not seen an Indian since the 5th Dec last which is very well accounted for as Mr Tate could not arrive at the Place he wished for in time enough last fall is I suppose the reason of no Indians visiting me this winter.
Should have sent the Men down sooner had John Mowat been capable of walking, by some means or other he froze both Hands and feet very severely nigh the House notwithstanding the finenefs of the weather With respect to securing the House, Goods and Furs and to come to York is by no means what I can agree to, therefore Dear Sir spare me trouble of coming to York for it is my determination let whatever be the consequence of not leaving the House while I have Goods and Furs to take care off. I have some Bundles of Cloth Blankets etc. belonging to the Inds in my pofsession? which if they found this House destitute and no person to take care of it they would not scruple in the least to break it open and would not adhere strictly to take what was their own, but their Honours property also this my Good Sir is my reason for not quiting my station at this distrefsed time.
I am sorry to become again troublesome to sollicit supplies of provisions to enable me to live till the River ice breaks up as the approaching thawing weather comes on it will be impofsible for me to maintain myself. I feel very much for your present situation particularly that dreadful disorder Scurvy among your Men and that it may speedily be removed is my fervent wish Much Health and more prosperous times attend you is the best wishes of
