Sir Yesterday, I received Advice from Boston that a Number of Transports have sailed on a Second Expedition for fresh Provisions: As they met with Such Success before it is probable they may pursue the same Course only advancing farther: We think Montauck Point on Long Island a very probable Place of their Landing: I have therefore thought it Best to give you the earliest Intelligence. But I do not mean to confine your Attention or Vigilance to that Place ー you will please to extend your Viewes as far as the Mischief may be probably intendedー
We have no Transactions of Sufficient Consequence in the Camp to make a Part of a Letter I am Sir [&c.]
G W
Camp at Cambridge August 23rd 1775
P.S. You will please to let me know in your next What Progress you make with the Hunting Shirtsー
