Dear Sir:

I had the pleasure of hearing, a few days since, that the State of North Carolina had voted to raise and send to this State three thousand of their Militia. I wish to know when they may be expected, by whom they will be commanded, what rout or routs they will take, and how they are supplied with Arms, accoutrements and camp utensils. A general exchange of prisoners of War has lately taken place here. We have none now with the Enemy, saving a few officers. I hear that there are some in your State for which our officers will be given. We credited for them in New Providence, where we are much in debt, or have credit for them, to be accounted for hereafter. I shall be obliged by hearing from you on these subjects.
