Dear General:
A Mr. Peeler,(?) a trading Gentleman, immediately from Baltimore, says he travelled in Company some Days with Lieut. Colonel Thaxton,(?) who was on his way to the Southern Army; that Col. Thaxton (?) informed Mr. Peeler he was exchanged, also General Moultrie and myself. I have no reason to doubt of this exchange as Certain, yet cannot, until I am Officially informed, take upon myself to Act. I have lost my horses—should I find them or procure others? Intend to go to Halifax before the Session of the General Assembly, by which time I hope to be at Liberty to wait on you for Orders.
