It would no doubt be more agreable to his friends could he be interred with the honors due to his rank but the distance of the Troops from this place will render it impossible to pay so small a tribute to his memory. A Subalterns party which has been...

Yet I have apprehensions of being here ten days or a fortnight longer, for though ready myself, some time since, the vessel in which I go is not ready. Yesterday’s post brought no mail from Virginia.
