先生 费城. 11月emr. 18th. 1782.—

这将由Mr: Randell, a merchant formerly of New-York; he is recommended to me by His Excellency the present President of Congress as a friend to his Country: As such permit me to introduce him to your acquaintance, 这是他热情要求的吗.

我有一点消息要告诉你, 信使突然离开,使你不知道我有什么事, 不过我要把你介绍给他. You have no doubt learnt that the Enemy long since evacuated Savannah in Georgia; you may believe they have done the same by Charlestown about the Beginning of this month, 虽然我们还没有官方或确定的说法. 纽约还在他们手里, but we have just heard they are at present in great consternation there; the cause we can scarce form a conjecture about. 我们的军队穿得更好, 更好的遵守纪律, in better spirits and more effective than at any period of the war; Congress is still composed of virtuous men; and the people in general are such 71如你所愿. 钱似乎是我们最大的需要, and salutary steps are prosecuting concerning it; I flatter myself funds will soon be established sufficiently productive for the public exigences, 但如果这部分失败了, 我们必须在一定程度上依靠我们的盟友, 我们的行业, œ经济 & 完整性.—

我们渴望听到你的消息,因为自5月5日以来一直没有收到来自欧洲的官方帐户th. 赛特r.-最后一封来自Mr. 劳伦斯-1 他最和蔼可亲的儿子,中尉t. 劳伦斯在查尔斯敦附近的一场战斗中阵亡. 你可能很快就会想到我们的老朋友Mr: 弗吉尼亚的杰斐逊在巴黎担任和平专员.

先生,我是您最恭顺、最谦卑的仆人

Tho M:肯恩

P.S. 军队已进入冬营区.—
