No 95.

The Cannon, that were sent down, will be wanted here ー should the men of war be gone off, which we expect either is or soon will be the Case, we request you would order the Cannon to the mouth of Patuxent, & let them be brought up here by water, if the passage appear safe. ー otherwise you are to order them up by land ー nothing new from New-York, only that the highlanders not taken by our Cruizers are arrived. ー
