Full Description:
Prevost to Clinton. Savannah. Would have wished the order to give over the command had been in General Leslie's name, instead of Brigadier-General Garth's. Would have wished also to retire from the country, Coloner Fuser being in his opinion a very proper person to defend St. Augustine. Ammunition and provisions both wanted there, and there are actually 200 of the King's troops in that province, 300 more men are wanted to defend it effectually.
