We issued the proper orders for that Purpose accordingly; as also for their being furnished with compleat Camp Equipment and we have the honor of informing your Ldp that General Sandford, who has now the Command of his Mjys Forces here, being of opinion, that this Embarkation will be most convenient from this Port.

We are with great Truth &c
