[Memorandum: from Lt.-Col. Tulikens to Lt.-Col. Wm Amherst]

Mem

To ask the Genl. How the Troops are to be paid that are lived at St. Johns, as 
 it will be absolutely impossible for the paymaster of the 40th Regimt. to send the money from 
Louisbourg.  No Dollars to be had here for bills on England the Five shillings......... of the Dollar 
in the men should receive them that Four Shillings and Eight Pence.  Capt. Mitchell the paymaster 
intends if he can get money to pay them up to the 24th Febry 1763.

Upon whom or how is Captain Gually to to draw for the money that shall be.......  Of the fort to etc. etc.

Bedding is much....... for the garrison of St. Johns. It may be had at Halifax as a large quantity was 
sent there from Louisbourg.

The garrison of Louisbourg can easily supply St. Johns in Newfoundland And Halifax with Coals, 
the shipping would be wanted for this purpose. As there is but few troops now left at Louisbourg 
Col. Tuliken desires and hopes that Col. Amherst will think of him, that should the Major joined Regimt. 
He may have leave if but for a few months to go to England.  And as Col. Tuliken has been at an 
extraordinary expense by acting as govr. for the time being at Louisbourg, he hopes the Genl. Will 
consider him, And if a Governor should be appointed for Louisbourg, humbly begs he may be recommended.

Captain Baron who Commanded the Light Infantry Compy. Of the Provincials, and who behaved 
himself so well, begs to be recommended to Col. Amherst for Commission in the regular Forces
