Clinton to Prevost. Admits that he had no notice of Prevost's intentions and therefore did not send him reinforcements or offer co-operation. From newspaper reports sees that [Benjamin] Lincoln has been repulsed at Maitland's post at Stono. Accepts that Prevost has fallen back to safer a post nearer Georgia. La Motte Picquet has sailed from France probably for America.
