My dear Brother,
I arrived at New York the Saturday morning after I parted with you; & found this vessel just on point of sailing & no other there, which induced me to put my baggage on board immediately and then to find a Breakfast: But all the Taverns & Coffee Houses were shut up & at last procured two mouthfuls of Beef, price 1/6, a sorry breakfast for a sick man-I cou'd find nobody I wanted Except Mr Hughes, not even our poor little Asher, tho' I had some shirts his Grand Father had sent him. Dear little fellow how glad he would have been to have seen me but I could not tarry. However I put the shirts into the hands of a Capt" Leonard of the same regiment who promised to deliver them The Day before yesterday (this being the 6th day of our passage) I had certain intelligence from the shore, that the Militia thereabouts; & our regiment had marched for Fort Stanwix in consequence of part of Burgoines army being near said Fort. Acct8 say 7,000 including Indians so that I don't expect to tarry in Albany but a few hours & therefore take this opportunity to write while its in my power-before I close this I will inform you how to direct me, for I take it for granted you will write to me, when you have opportunity. Your letters will be a great comfort to me, while I live for which reason, you won't I hope, neglect me-you'll give my love to Brother, sister and children, & remember me to the Gentlemen I saw with you at prince town-Cousin Joseph in particular also please to inform Mr James Me Comt [Le Comt?] that I cou'd find no person, to inquire of about the salt-petre kittles he mentioned to me, & that I had not time to write him, from New York, where I staid but three or four hours-as to the affair on long island I can't learn any thing satisfactory about it-May God bless and preserve us, & mercifully grant that we may behold each other again in peace prays your

I think I shall Begin soon to Catekise you if you thus neglect your friend, especially as I understand by the Zankin Girls that you had something of consequence to impart to me, I pray be spedy for you don't know what may be the consequence of such delays. Let it be upon Politics, or what else you ought to send it espress, the Maple Ladies tell me that you shew'd them my letter. I Believe they lie, if not Lydia saw something that has put her in mind of the Matrimonial Peace Maker which I think necessary that she should partake of- Because I think there is some uneasiness in the lower part of her fabrick, so that the * * * Peace Maker's Company would be very sutible.
