Description
Has received orders from Gen. Schuyler to join his army; the express that brought the order had been told by Col. Blair that Gen. Lincoln intended to reinforce Capt. McCracken, but no written information had been received; thinks it desirable to send some one to take charge of the remaining stores; a deserter from Skenesborough had reported on oath that the enemy had all gone toward Fort Edward except 175 regulars and Hessians, and 13 Indians; Gen. Schuyler's head quarters were at Stillwater, and the enemy's at Saratoga.
