Summary
Informing him that he has moved his headquarters so that "I might be more convenient to the works at West Point;" adding that he would be happy to see him "as often as your leisure will permit;" saying he has received "no official account from Charles Town as yet that I know of; but I have no doubt but that there has been an action there, and that the issue has been in our favour;" enclosing a copy of a letter he received from General Greene "in which the affair is so particularly related that it is hardly possible it can be destitute of foundation. I trust we shall have in a few days the fullest confirmation."
