I am almost blind with bad eyes & beside that I am
more than half asleep— Quere whether I shall be able to
make out a scrap of a letter to go tonight.
You will know by the Newspapers and from a thousand
other quarters of Howe's being come to Portsmouth. I heard
of it last night only as a report. To day I heard of it from
Lind as a certainty. I posted to J. (where by the Gge
Lasalle is along with the Lagresserne with the intelligence. Lasalle
came to town on Monday yesterday with her sister on pretence that
verte would not be able to take care of the three children. I had
not been there a minute when in came a man sent by
to give advice of his having received a letter from
Davies remember it as D: at Portsmouth. They said that part of the message was to
desire that she should not leave town till she had seen or heard
from him: this however must have been a mistake as he could
not possibly have know of her being in town; nor did that I
know of.
