Camp Long Island 29th June 1776
Commodore Sir Peter Parker Knt
As I am anxious to hear from you since your attack of yesterday, and supposing must be busily employed after the Engagement by seeing no boat from you on her way to this Island ー I have sent Capt [William Glanville] Evelyn one of my Aid de Camps to wait upon you for such information as you may think proper to give him, and at the same time to acquaint You with our Situation.
I hope to hear on his return of your Welfare & have the Honor to be&ca
