I have had the Honr. to acknowledge the receipt of each of yr. very obliging Favrs. by return of Post, neither of which I presume had reached you when your last of the 14th. was written,1 but will hereafter regularly find their way. I am just return’d from attending our High Court of Chancary, where we found little business, people appearing more inclined to hunt the Sources of money, than of Equity. An express passing from Charles Town to Congress drop’d intelligence that Count D’Estaing had landed 5000 men in that or the Georgia State, if this be true, I suppose the british Army in that quarter must be Ours.2 It is said, probably on none other ground then conjecture, that a division of the Count’s Fleet & Army is gone Northward to do something there at the same time. The preparation at New York may be for a General embarkation for Britain in consequence of the orders mentioned in my last; I hope at any rate they will not pay us another Visit, which would be unpolite as we have not return’d their former. I am Dr. Sr Yr. oblig’d & Obt. Servt.
