Col. Thompson' s Proposal for destroying Nova-Scotia

v3:90

For the Expedition purposed: One thousand men, including officers; four armed vessels and eight Transports; the men to be raised at the Eastward. The Fleet to be made up at Machias, and then proceed to Windsor; captivate the Tories; make all the proselytes we can; and then proceed to Halifax. If possible, destroy the King' s Dock-Yard, and Town, if thought proper.

It may be undertaken for five thousand Pounds, lawful money, and all that can be procured from the Tories, or ten thousand, and the one-half of what is taken from them. At Windsor, we understand, there is abundance of goods, which is the next capital town to Halifax. We are lately informed, that there is not to exceed two hundred British Troops in Halifax.
