Description
As Campbell's accounts are not included in those mentioned by Gen. Clarke, it will be better to defer examination of them until the arrival of this garrison in New York; this cannot be an unexpected inconvenience, as Campbell was destined for New York and his coming here was accidental. Copy. Endorsed.
