The first, nearly of a sameness at all times and places in this infant country, is easily conceived, at least is too unimportant for description. The second was only diversified with perplexities, and could afford no en- tertainment. Convinced of these things myself, and knowing that your intelligence w^ith respect to foreign affairs was better and more interesting than mine, I had no subject to address you upon; thus then do I account for my silence. My time since I joined the army in this qua...rter, has been occupied principally in providing for, disci- plining, and preparing, under many embarrassments, the troops for the field. Cramped as we have been and still are for the want of money, every thing moves slowly, but as this is no new case, I am not discouraged by it. The enemy talk loudly and confidentially of peace, but whether they are in earnest, or whether it is to amuse, and while away the time till they can pre- pare for more vigorous prosecution of the war, time will evince. Certain it is the refugees at New- 17 York are violently convulsed, by a letter which ere this you w^ill have seen published, from JSir Guy Charleton and Admiral Digby to me, upon the sub- jeer of a general pacification and acknowldgement of the independence of this country.
