| Content Description | Remarks that he realized he forgot yesterday to enclose a letter he wrote to Knox on 28 September, probably GLC02437.01631, so he encloses it now. Writes, "This Sloop commanded by Capt. [possibly Edward S.] Willet, brings you the QMGs Stores mentioned in the Return I sent you by the last post, as I know they will be immediately useful; the military stores I have detained till I hear further from you, I wish you could be ready to receive them by Capt Seward. This sloop also takes down all the British waggons." Sends, along with his wife, best wishes to Mrs. Knox. Adds, "Do have mercy on us, and send us some news, we get nothing we can depend on." |
