Sir —
I have no letter from you to day consequently have nothing to reply to — nor much to inform you of — Our Secretary leaves us to Morrow and until, [undecipherable: condition?] is brought to Act, the Secretary of the Navy takes a kind of Superintending Agency — As yet we have received no marching orders, but I expect we shall early next week — The late Secretary of State is about retreating to the Moors — I expect he will fix his family at [undecipherable] on the Delaware and then go himself on his lands in or near the great Bend of Susquehanna — [undecipherable] in reducing the twelve Regiments have been [undecipherable: sent?] and I expect they will be shortly carried into execution — The Quartermaster's Department will of course revert on its former organization — adieu —
[There is hard nothing from [undecipherable] —] your Most Obedient Servant
