I have been honored with yours of 24th on your leaving Newburgh, & of the same date from Poughkeepsie. An Officer will be appointed to attend the meeting of the Referees. Nothing material has transpired below—The Enemy have encamped their Troops on York Island—There have been various reports of a fleets being seen on the Coast—I rather think it nothing more than our own Merchantmen from the Havannah. I have the honor to be with the highest respect Your Excellencys Most Obedient Servant
