Very little news has transpired this week - not the least communi =cation between Portsmouth and us. Report says the Enemy are throwing up works there and I suppose they are but I also think they are very much disapointed in their ex= =pectations with respect to the success of Cornwallis [crossed out, illegible] which I believe is stopt in his career, reports from Carn. are many and very favourable but as the most of them want confirmation I shall defer the acct till next Post - you may rest assured that affairs there have taken a favourable turn. - Genl Mhulinberg is now at Suffolk with a considerable Army of Regulars, & Militia who turn out in great numbers and with great cheefrullness. For my part I think my situation a Safe one and I believe our friends as I at Hoods thinks theirs the same - I heard from them the first of the week nothing new Liddy [illegible] still very ill very little hopes I believe of her recovery. Expect a long letter next week and I trust an agreeable one - Have you got the brass tops for Gilbert's Chair Wheels or have you got him the Tea Kettle. I plainly perseve our correspon= =dence on the decline but to do you justice you have done more than I had a right to expect considering your business - Come here and let us see your face dont be afraid there's no body here that will hurt you lets see what a figure you'll cut in your New Phaeton and your taste in Horse flesh - don't be scared as price horses here [crossed out, illegible] that are fine will fetch what you plan to ask [Page 2] consider that [illegible] sold for 10,000 lb J River Tobo.

I have not seen North or Nestor lately but conclude from my own knowledge that a waggon load of dry goods wou'd ansr well at Richmond as the waggon & Horses might be sold at a good price but as I am not acquainted with circumstances sufficient to recommend it leave it entirely to your own consideration - I [crossed out, illegible] am of oppinion that the British will not stay longer at Portsmouth than to take all the Beef and Pork which that part of the Country af fords for (as I said before) I think them disapointed in first aim.
