Summary
Informing him that he has opened a letter "just received" from Windsor and addressed to Lt. Col. Wetherall; directing Wetherall to "communicate it" to Wentworth "instantly"; noting that, if Wentworth deems a stronger force "expedient", Lieutenant Clarke's detachment currently bound for Annapolis may tomorrow march "to relieve Muller's party at Horton & tarry there, before they proceed on to Annapolis".
