abstract
{"value"=>"Replying to his letter informs him that the expedition under Gen. [Charles] O'Hara still goes on to its destination as known to Colpoys, but less in number than first design; as to forwarding his dispatch, suggests that ship of war convoying the English packet off the coast might proceed to New York with dispatch; asks for the Savage to take his Savannah dispatch to Tybee, and thence to St. Augustine and St. John's [Fla.], to signal there for transports; sends dispatch by his aide Capt. [Francis] Skelley, who will explain his sentiments."}
