Brigadier-General Alured Clarke to Leslie. Savannah. Extracts. 'The number of this garrison decreased by fifty men in the course of the last month, nine or ten have already deserted in this, five or six of Brown's, and four Hessian's. Is impatient to have a certain corps relieved for it is impossible to say what might be the consequence of their defection, it being a large proportion of the garrison. Hears of reinforcements to [General Anthony] Wayne. Provisions are falling short. The enemy expects a foreign fleet at Tybee [Island, Georgia] by the 25th'.
