The Earl of Loudoun, whom The King has appointed Commander in Chief of all His Forces whatsoever, in No. America, being preparing to set out, with all Expedition, together with Two Regiments of Foot, a Train of Artillery, and a sufficient Quantity of Warlike Stores, which His Majesty has been pleased to order for the Publick Service, in those Parts, I am commanded to signify to you The King's Pleasure, that you should be ready to give His Lordship, and the Troops from England, all the Assistance in your Power, on their Arrival in America, agreable to the Orders sent you in Sir Thomas Robinson's Letter of October 26th. 1754, and you will correspond with and apply to The Earl of Loudoun, on all Occasions, in the same Manner as you were directed to do with the late Genl. Braddock, & Major General Shirley. 

It being of great Importance to The King's Service, that all possible Facilities should be granted for the Encouragement of such Persons as may be inclined to enlist in the King's Troops, it is His Majesty's Pleasure, that you should particularly recommend it to your Assembly to make Provision out of such Funds as already exist, or may hereafter be raised for The King's Service, for repaying the Masters of such Indented Servants, as shall engage in His Majesty's Service, the Money paid by the said Masters upon the Original Contract in proportion to the Time such indented Servants have to serve; And you will, at all Times, discourage the harbouring, concealing, or assisting, such as shall desert the Service, and also use all Means for discovering, & apprehending such Deserters: You will, likewise, use your best Endeavours to prevail on your Assembly to appropriate such Part of the Funds; now raised, or which shall be raised, for the Publick Service, to be issued, & applied to the general Service, in such Manner, as the Commander in Chief shall direct. 

The King would have you recommend it, in the strongest Manner, to your Council & Assembly, to pass effectual Laws for prohibiting all Trade & Commerce with The French, and for preventing the Exportation of Provisions, of all Kinds, to any of their Islands or Colonies.
