Description
A desire to oblige Wilkinson and to return the civilities received at Fredericksburgh from Mr. and Mrs. [William] Fitzhugh has made him try to procure liberty on parole for their two relations, Fitzhugh and Randolph; however, the detention and sending back to Pennsylvania of himself and Gen. De Riedesel the preceding autumn led Sir Henry Clinton to call in all officers on parole and stop others from going out; the latter part of this order remains in force, but he will write to Sir Henry Clinton concerning the gentlemen in question; he may return into Virginia; if it is practicable for him to go by Philadelphia he will visit Wilkinson.
