Sunday, 10 o'clock P.M., August 10, 1777.

    Sir: I have just recd an Express from Philada informing me that a large Fleet was seen off Sinepuxent Inlet on the 7th inst. You are therefore desired to halt wherever this finds you, and wait till we hear further of this matter. Let me know by Return of the Express where you are, that I may know how to direct for when I have occasion to send you Orders. I am, etc.

    P.S. By ordering you to halt where this shall find you, I mean upon the most convenient ground near the place.78
