COL. NICHOLAS LONG TO GOVERNOR BURKE.

Halifax, August 14th, 1781.

Sir:

Inclosed is a Letter from Col. Carrington (by order General Greene). I beg you will send me your instructions concerning it. I have waited in patience to see you, as Mr. Jones inform'd me you were to have been at Halifax long before this time which prevented my waiting on you.

I am Sir, with esteem, Your obt. Servt.,
NICHOLAS LONG, D. Q. M. G.
