Sir:
Major General Howe, by whom this goes, being well acquainted with the situation of affairs in this State and Georgia, will be able to give you the fullest information respecting them. It is unnecessary, therefore, for me to do so. I will only request that whatever aid North Carolina will afford may be forwarded with the utmost dispatch, so that the necessary measures for compelling the Enemy to leave Georgia may be furnished before the weather is so warm as to endanger the health of the men to be employed in this service.
