Berlin 3 days march
October 25. 1794
7 O'Clock in the
Evening)—
We arrived here this afternoon. A very heavy rain has rendered the march extremely arduous and distressing; but we finds here much better shelter than was foretold. Our baggage and [undecipherable] are just beginning to arrive. The [undecipherable] brig[ade?] [undecipherable] of Cavalry took the right hand road about five miles back.
Tomorrow we shall continue our march & I hope that we shall conform to the general arrangement though we must shorten tomorrow's march & lengthen that of the day following).
The troops have shewn all the patience that could have been expected. So that I perceive nothing amiss.
(Bradford & Fulton it is said are gone off. By tracing [undecipherable], it is not probable they were at all influenced by the arrest of [undecipherable: Husband] & [undecipherable]).
With the highest respect &
truest attachment,
I have the honor to be Sir
Your obed. Ser.
