Full Description:
Prevost to Clinton. Savannah. Agreeable to commands has had the proclaimation printed and published. Sent the letter to General Patterson but did not wait for the printing of the proclaimation. Has directed Major Prevost to put up a parcel of them amongst some stationary for his (Clinton's) office. Want of provisions as well as ignorance of outside enemies, influenced them in leaving this place in April last. Indians have gone to avoid the small pox but promise to take the field when called upon. If an engineer arrives he shall set to work to cotract the works and form something like a citadel at the bluff. Post Script. The English fleet may be hourly expected in this river.
