Full Description:
Lieutenant Colonel N Balfour to Leslie. The safety of this province [of North Carolina] is now concerned in your getting as fast as possible near us. The dispatches for Clinton sent by the 'Beaumont' are to explain everything that happened here of late, the requisition for your coming to Cape Fear, &c. Therefore, Cornwallis wishes them to be sent by a man of war as quickly as possible. A pilot is sent in the 'Beaumont', and more will be lying ready for you in the river. As also all sorts of good things, rice, salt, pork, &c.
