The Life and Correspondence of Sir Isaac Brock

CHAPTER II
8/12

Indeed, the troops in garrison are much inconvenienced for want of permanent hospitals.

There were three cases of fever; the remainder of the patients were chiefly attacked with a disease too prevalent among young soldiers.

Three men are unfit for service, being frost-bitten.
The men are supplied with necessaries in conformity to his majesty's regulations.
_Colonel Brock to the Adjutant-General of His Majesty's Forces._ QUEBEC, July 1, 1807.
I have the honor to transmit herewith the inspection return of the 41st regiment for two distinct periods, viz.

September 1, 1806, and March 1, 1807.
Some inaccuracies being found in the September return previously received, it was sent back to Lieut.-Colonel Proctor, at Fort George, for correction.

This circumstance and the distance of the place, account for the delay which has occurred in complying, in the present instance, with the commands of his royal highness the commander-in-chief.
The very great distance of the quarters the 41st now occupy, has prevented my making personally the periodical inspection of that regiment required by my instructions.
