Full Description:
[Clinton] to [Robinson]. New York. In answer to the letter of 29 July, there is no detention of the victualling transports by the commissary here. Fears they are often delayed for a convoy as several applications were made to the Admiral for the last before it was ordered. No news yet of the Cork fleet. The King's stores are exhausted and the measures taken several weeks since to obtain a small supply from Halifax are in some degree frustrated by the convoy not having yet sailed in spite of the Admiral's promise to dispatch it immediately. Requests him to represent to the Lords of the Treasury the need of keeping up supplies for this army.
