There has yet no purchase of a majority going on for the American Army. But hope there will one happen shortly. A detachment of the 59th Regiment under my command with the 14th & 29th Regiment & a company of the Royall Artillery arrived here the 1st Instant in Hood's Squadron. The disposition of these turbulent people must be better known, to your Lordship, than I can describe." In fine condition.
