Abstract
Has received his Excellency's letters; has given positive orders about the horses near his camp; if the wagon driver will designate the person who stole the horse, the thief, if a Frenchman, shall be punished; thinks it probable that the horses stolen were carried off by country people; thanks him for having the articles belonging to the Count de Dillon and himself carried to the new camp; has not sent a ship to Philadelphia; thinks the Eagle has arrived from Europe and has brought packages for him; has read the notes of advice which were sent; thinks they were written by a person of more zeal than knowledge.
