      Lettres de Paul Mascarène à Françoise Le Borgne de Belle-Isle, 30 juin 1741 et 13 octobre 1744. All the governor's dispatches to England (Edward Cornwallis) to 11 September (1749), inclusive, are dated Chebucto; but in that of 17 October he begins to date Halifax. He seems to have only begun to lodge on shore in October, on the 14th of which month the council met in his 'apartment' at 'Halifax'. 1759: Colonel Arbuthnot then commanded at fort Frederick. 1760: On Tuesday, the 11 February, Colonel Arbuthnot, the officer who commanded at Fort Frederick, on the St. John river, came to Halifax, bringing with him two Indian chiefs of the Passamaquoddy tribe, to make peace on the basis of the old Indian treaty of 1725. On the 13th, the draft of the treaty was read in council, and approved. On 23 Feb'y., Michel Neptune, chief, (Passamaquoddy), and Ballomy Glode, chief of the St. John Indians, made a treaty, based on those of 1725 and 1749. Saturday, 23 Feb'y., the treaties of peace with the Indian chiefs of the tribes of St. John's river and Passamaquoddy, were signed by the governor and the chiefs. 10 March, Monday, treaties of peace were signed in council with Paul Laurent, chief of Lehave, Michel Augustine, Richibucto, Claude René, Chibenacadie and Muscadoboit. 1761: On the 8 July, a formal treaty of peace was made with Argimault, chief of the Indians of the Missiguash (Missaguash). 15 August 1761: Joseph Winniett wrote a letter to Jonathan Belcher (President of the Nova Scotia Council) in which he relates 'going up the river St. John's in assisting colonel Arbuthnot' in bringing in the French. On Monday, 9 November, a treaty of peace was signed with Francis Mius, chief of the tribe of Indians of LaHève.

      William Arbuthnot was the commander at Fort Frederick. Also History of the great fire in Saint John, Russell H. Conwell, published by B. B. Russell, Boston, 1877, (pp. 80-102): At this period (1759) Col. Arbuthnot was in command of Fort Frederick; and his garrison consisted of about a hundred and fifty or two hundred men. The commandant was very busy in keeping the Indians in order, and watching the French, and seems altogether to have had rather an uneasy time of it.
