Sir,
I had the honor of writing to your Excellency the 9th of January & Lt. Colonel Dawson of your State, which I hope you received.
I am sorry I have to inform you the men of my brigade here have sufferd severely this winter for want of clothing & other necessarys. – Fifty of them died in & about camp since the beginning of January last. & eve have near two hundred sick have now besides as many more reported sick absent in different hospitals of this state & Jersey. – a most distressing situation! ---- & only Doctor McClure of the second Regiment to attend the whole of them until a few days ago. I fortunately got another young man to assist him, but cannot tell how he will turn out yet.
I cannot with propriety or Justice on this occasion avoid complaining of doctor Canby of the 5th Regiment to his Fate, which I think he has been ingratefull to, & cannot help charging him with inhumanity also in leaving so many of his brave country men to perish without assistance. --- when I was first informed of him, I ordered him in the most positive terms to stay with the brigade. – he attempted to make a plea, that in consequence of a former order, for the staff of the six vacant Regiments to go home with the other officers. he had sent off his Baggage, therefore could not Stay, and at last went without Leave,-- for which I stopped his pay for January, February & an Extra Bounty a Month given by Congress to the army with General Washington’s approbation. And dare say your Excellency will think with me, he deserves still further marks of Resentment from his Country. ---
This Season produces nothing worth mentioning to you save little skirmishes between Foraging Partys of no account.
I hear Col. Shepherd 10th Regiment is under [illeg]culation at Georgetown Maryland but have no Accot. from himself. ---
I have the honor to be respectfully
Yr Excellency’s most obt. Servt.

Wilmington March 10th 1778
Dear Sir,
The Bearer Mr. Chocran has obtained Permission on his Parole, to proceed down to Dover to attend on the Tryal of his Vessel & Cargo, which were sometime ago taken by Mr. Erskine at New Castle, the particular circumstances under which she was captured you will be the best judge of from the Evidence, which will be adduced, & which must determine your conduct in the case, it will be unnecessary to add what he urges on the occasion, farther than that his Motive was to serve Mr. Aiken in removing his Family & effects, & procuring & carrying up necessaries for some Families in Distress in Philadelphia, which form the testimony. I make no doubt will harm their proper Weight if properly supported – In justice to Mr. Chocran, I must urge he has conducted himself as a Prisoner with great propriety, has discover’d much modesty, and candor in his examination, & proceedings, & has ever been regular, punctual & consistent in his conduct, under his Parole, which induced me to give him greater indulgence, & to urge what I have said above in his favor, & am with much regard of esteem
