Full Description:
Leslie to [Clinton]. Secret. Is difficulted in regard to Colonel Westerhagen and Colonel Binning, both senior officers to Brigadier Stewart, the former lame and unfit for service. Both command fine regiments but their situation prevents him bringing them into the field where they ought to be, as they have both been too long in garrison and may have formed bad connections. Their men let prisoners escape, &c. General De Bose does everything in hs power to forward the King's service, General De Knoblauch is of no use, as his health is quite gone.
