Description
Is sorry to hear that he has had a return of his old complaint; he himself finds the business of Congress a strain; the enemy have attempted to surround the troops in New York; they have been grossly deceived in the help they should have received from the eastward; it was thought the people would have risen in a body, but they want to make their fortunes by privateering; Congress is going to raise several more battalions; commissioners are to be appointed to audit accounts of the southern department; money will be advanced to Virginia.
