you.
Ihave not been able to answer your letter as

quence of the fatigue of my last expedition I
am mending though slowly, and am unable 10

Our situation here grows worse daily, the
whole province is nearly in the hands of the enc
my. j keep IN my COMMUNICATIONS as far as
am able, but cannot ans er for their safety
My orders are not obeyed two leagues beyond
the walls of this pace-our military chest is emp

scarce and difficult to be had, that fowl for the

doubtful.
Farewell, &c. &c.
