Informs Halifax about further information concerning the intercepted letters. "I have reason to Suspect a treasonable Correspondence has been, and is Still carrying on with the French, both in Europe and America, by some persons in his Goverment, Maryland, or Virginia." Believes information "was given the French Commandant at Fort DuQuesne of the disposition and strength of Gen. Braddock's army." Hears rumors about the French enlisting Germans. Writes that "it is very plain the Author has been industrious to acquire a thorough knowledge of every Transaction on the Continent; and I think in some things, that he ought not, nor could not have known, but from those, who had no right to inform him." Writing only on the right hand side of each page. Noted at the top as "Copy of Sir Charles Hardys Letter to the Earl of Halifax." Gilt edges and watermarked with a crest and the letters LVC.
