We have hitherto given Your Excellency Intelligence from time to time of the State of things respecting the Pennsylvania line, and have now the Pleasure to Inform you, that the terms agreed on by the Committe from the Executive Council of Pennsylvania with them are now carrying into Execution, in as peaceable and Quiet a manner as could possibly be expected—two Regts have been already settled with—with regard to their terms of Enlistments and for want of their Enlistments and attestations being produced a great proportion of them have had Certificates to be discharged They on their part have deliverd up the Spies Sent from Sr Harry Clinton, who have been both Executed, by the Sentence of a Board of officers composed of Genls Wayne [and] Irwin, Cols: Butler, Stewart & Majr Fishbourne.1

We are Yr Excellency’s Most obedt Se[rvan]ts
