Abstract

He applied to Gen. [Washington] for a pass for Mrs. Riche, and mentioned the situation of Riche's sister; the General answered that it was particularly necessary to prevent anyone going to town at present that could give intelligence of our vessels or the condition of the river; in a few days the same objection might not apply; he asked [Tench] Tilghman to remind the General at a proper season, and he himself will write from Lancaster; expresses his obligations for Riche's hospitality.
