The following is a true state of the situation of the Northern Army, with respect to the Small Pox.
"All infected with said disorder are removed to Fort George--the main body of the army is now at Ticonderoga, at which place a stand is to be made. The greatest care is taken to prevent the further spreading of that fatal disorder, as the Generals have taken every precaution necessary, and have left no infected person with the main body, which together with the stations assigned for the two battalions now raised in this colony for the northern army, viz. at Skenesborough and the east side of Ticonderoga, will effectually render the campaign safe as to the above disorder."
