Sir:

It is now evident the enemy intends to invade this State & Georgia. Twenty seven of their Ships are arrived at Tybee, and 10 at       and both places within 10 or 15 miles of Savannah, and from the information we have received that force is a part of the Armament we may expect. In this situation Sir, we shall stand greatly in need of the support of our neighbours, and that succour which Congress meant we should desire from your State. I flatter myself it is only necessary to inform you of our design to engage you in our behalf. Our stock of arms is barely sufficient to afford a supply to our people, which circumstance I think it my duty to apprise you of, and that they have been obliged to issue to the Troops already arrived from your State near 700 stand.
