Description

6575. Captain William Armstrong to Brigadier-General Abercromby. Wilimington [Delaware]. Arrived at the mouth of this creek on 'the 21st instant', but owing to some etiquette was not allowed by the French toops to come up until 'the 26th'. Has sent off 95 waggon loads, there are about five more remaining. If navigation will permit, has got leave to take the ship with the articles in it to Philadelphia. Has sent the stores for the German troops to Lancaster as he is informed they [i.e. the prisoners of war] are now moving from their quarters in Maryland to Little York and Lancaster [Pennsylvannia]. Has been treated with every greatest attention and politeness and met with every assistance.
