Your Favor of the 15th is received—with its several Inclosures. The Resolution of Congress respectg the Inhabitants of So. Carolina, would have been commincated to the British Comander in Chief in N.

The favourable reception your Excellency was pleased to give to the representation I was deputed to make in the name of the field officers of the army has induced me to trouble you on a matter I conceive of importance.
