Sir:
Capt.
Maloney, upon the application of the inhabitants of Horton and Cornwallis, is
to return to New London to take in provisions, but half his lading. He is then
to proceed to Newport to take in provisions for East and West Falmouth. He has
orders to take Dr. Ellis* and family and effects and one Mr.
Mather (this name is somewhat uncertain), if they are ready.

The inhabitants
of East Falmouth have petitioned to be set off as a distinct town and it has been
mentioned in Council, but nothing conclusive done. There is an objection because
of the fewness of proprietors, but if they will consent to have an addition of
20 rights, a sufficient quantity of land being added to that end, I believe they
may obtain it. I have proposed to have it named Newport, from my Lord Newport,
a friend of Mr. Belcher’s, and which I believe will be agreeable to the people
if they think it will be of advantage to them. I think the addition of 20 shares
will be no disadvantage, as they have land equivilent. You can inform yourself
of their opinion on this head.

I shall endeavor to send the iron by the
vessel bringing the provision.

I am obliged to you for the assistance you
gave my son among the inhabitants.

It will not be long before you will be
here and then I will fully inform you of the other affairs,

till
when I am, in haste,
Sir, your most obt servant,
C. Morris (Serveyor
General)
To Isaac Deschamps**, Esq.
Fort Edward.
