Co, °f a Letter from Edouard Fleming to Andrew
Hamilton, Captain in the Rebel Train of Artillery,
dated Second River, August 1, 1776.
" Dear Sir,
66 I was last Night favour'd with your obliging
Letter by Mrs. Fleming, that font by Doctor Jones
I have not yet received, but learned this Morning that
he left it at Mr. Schuyler's for me, where by some
Means or other they have negUffed to fend it. You
nor I my Friend are no Strangers to the Malevolence
and Spight of the rascally Part of New-York, whose
(Baseness of Soul measure others Sentiments by their
own vile Standard, but who, thank God, have been
hitherto happily defeated and detected in their Lies
and Villainy: Be assured, my Friend, that altho' far
priz'd at the Report, I could not help laughing very
heartily at their fpightful Blunder, for confeious of
my own Integrity, I did foppofe I should be one df
the Lift Men fufpeCted of Treachery or Duplicity,
and therefore their fixing me on board the Fleet was
truly ridiculous, fines they must know it would not
gain Credit with any of the Friends to America who
knewme, and I am fare it never would be credited
by the Enemies of America, for they all know me
too well for that. I despise the rascally Authors and
(Propagators of the Lie, and equally despise and
abhor the Men of War, all that belongs to them,
and their Owner ; and do solemnly declare, that no
thing on Earth would induce me to go on board any
cf the King of Great-Britain's Ships, except for
the express Purpose of destroying them. I would
give Five Pound for the Discovery cf the rascally
Author, and One Hundred Pounds that he and every
villainous Enemy to America were on board the
Fleet, and the Fleet in a Flame. lam forrv I bad
not the Plwdure of feeing you the Morning I left
York with Mrs. Fleming : Since we have been here
I have been amusing inyfelf with little trifles, put
tingour liale House in order, &c. where I do assure
you it would give os great Pleafufe to fee you, when
ever your Duty and Business will permit. Our Si
tuation is pleasant, just on the River Edge, tho' our
(House is not elegant, yet it serves the Purpose of a
Country Retreat for the Summer Season; and I think
I have recruited a good deal for the short Time we
Lave been here. When we left York I little imagi
ned you would so soon have a Visit from the British
(Pirates, or I think I should have been tempted to stay
a little longer, altho? I had nothing to do or employ
me in York, and my House ard Family Affairs in
the Country neglected. We heard all your firing
that Day, by .which I imagined the Ships had made a
regular Attack upon your Batteries, never dreaming
they were so stupid as to attempt a Passage up the
North-River, where I think, and greatly hope, they
have got themselves in a Pound, and that they may
be well pounded before they get out again. 1 was
extremely concern'd on hearing the Difallers which
befell some of cur Men at the Batteries that Day,
but happy to find thatyou, my Friend, and others
yotr gallant Brethren had escaped the Calamity :
Would to God you were all more prudently cool and
siuticus, and hope that ugly Accident will be a fuf
ficient warning. lam pleated with your Vigilance
and Attention to the Row Gallies, &c. and hope
they will have the desired Effe&. As to the Diffn
tory you mention, I apprehend to be only the com
mon Ellens of eating early unripe Fruit jhis warm
Weather : The Men ought to be cautious against
the nfe of these, and drinking cold Water when they
arc warm ; and Cleanliness should be strongly in
lifted upon, l should have been several Times in
York since I left it, but for want of a Horse to
draw my Sulkey, which I have not yet been able to
procure ; I expe& one soon, when I hope to have
the Pleasure cf feeing you ; in the mean Time beg
you will favour me with a Line, as Opportunity cf
fas, directed for me at the Poft-Office at Newaik,
which I think will be the most expeditious Convey
ance, as my Habitation is within two small Miles of
it. I beg you will make my best Complements to
Col. Knox in particular, and all the Gentlemen of
NEW-YORK, Sept. 15.
Our Advices from the Southward as late as the 4th
Instant, are, That his Excellency General Sir Wil
liam Howe, with the British Army, was at Chris
tiana Bridge, and Washington marching out of
Wilmington, in order to give him Battle.---That a
Party of°the Royal Army had lately routed 1500 of
the Rebels under Sullivan, and that they loft 600
Head of Cattle.---That the greatest Part of the Bri
tifli Fleet were moving from Chefapeak, and 'twas
fuppoled they were defined for the Delaware. --That
the Englilh Prisoners were all lent as far to the
Southard as Carolina or Georgia, to some Illand on
that Coast.
Last Monday the following Gentlemen arrived
here from North Carolina, having obtained Permif
iion to quit that Province, viz. Mr. Mackenzie,
Comptroller of his Majesty's Cuttoms for the Port
cf Roanoke; Mr. McCleland, Mr. Galatia, Mr.
Henderson, Mr. Bogs, Mr. Wier, Mr. Clarke, and
Mr. M'Lean : The four last with their Families.
They were taken by one of his Majesty's Tenders
soon after they failed from Carolina, and sent in here,
but the Captors have since generously given the
Vessel and Cargo to the proper Owners.
Turfday last the Ship Peace and Plenty, Captain
M'Kenzie, the Ship King George, Capt. Redmond,
and the Ship Nelly, Capt. North, arrived here from
Cork, with Provisions, &c. after a tedious Passage
©f 10 Weeks: They failed from thence under Con
voy of the Ship British King, and in Company with
the Jane, Diana, Unity, Walters, .Mary and Anne,
Stagg, Indian King, Union Illand, Concord, and
Lord Howe; and Ivft ttern the 19th of August, in
Lat. 38, 30, Lon. 66, being ordered by the Com
modore to give Chace to a Rebel Privateer Schooner
of 12 Guns, that appeared among the Shipping; but
after a Pursuit of several Hours, the Wind falling
away, the Privateer took to her Oars and got off,
and they having loft Sight cf the Fleet, proceeded on
their Voyage for this Port.
The ad Inst. the above Captains fell in with his
Majesty's Frigates the Diamond and Unicorh, off
St. George's Bank, all well on board, cruizing for
some French Ships expected from Boston. And
on the 4th they came up with and took the Schooner
Elizabeth, frdm Nantucket, but owned in Boston,
bound on a Whaling Voyage.
By a Person who left Albany the 3d Instant, we
are infoimed, that some Drys before his Departure,
the Rebels attacked the Encampment of the advanced
your Company and Corps of my Acquaintance, and
ho| e you will always believe me to be, dear Sir,
Your very affectionate Friend, and
Very Humble Servant,
Edward Fleming.
" P. S. Pray if you have Opportunity commend
me very refpeafully to General Washington and
General Putnam."
