Prevost to Howe. St Augustine. Mentions Colonel Kirkland's application for leave to go to New York on private affairs. Laying a project for an invasin into Georgia and the western frontiers of South Carolina. Time for preperation short, the winter season most proper for many reasons, and men-of-war on this station should be ordered to co-operate with the troops.
