It is thought by many that the Count D'staign would be in
possession of Savannah the 12th Inst, so that he may now be
Hourly expected. The Enemy are making the greatest prep-

plank points, first have I Distroy'd & burnt everything in His
power
The Cayuga's & some others of the Six Nations are Sueing

I have determind to stay all the week rather then leave this
business unreported. I must therefore request the Senate (should
I not be down in time) to chuse a President in my room. By
thursday the 4th of Nov. if God Spares me I shall be down in
the mean time I am with the greatest Affection & esteem
Dr Sir Your friend & Servt
