Full Description:
Governor Sir James Wright to Clinton. Savannah, Georgia. Thanks him for approving of Prevost's raising a corps of horse and allowing the militia pay and subsistence while on actual service. Sees that it will be difficult to get proper officers to command whose loyalty can be depended on, likewise that it will be difficult to get horses. If his son may add a troop of horse to his foot, there will be trustworthy officers and the gentlemen will assist in furnishing horses. Postscript, Has received information of the capture [by the Americans] of the 'Crown' galley with saddles and accoutrements on board and that she was afterwards retaken by a Bermuda privateer.
