Capt Allen

Guard he drew Harrisons Brewery &
I drew the upper Barrack but as we were
desirous to go together I Swaped with an=
-other officer &. I Saw
Vanzile our
Pilot when at
Schuylers Swamp he
braught Compliments from Mr Schuyler
& Family with an Invitation to visit
him, I Shall not lose the first Oppertu-
nity of paying a visit to this excellent
Family, but as it expected that we Shall
Soon have an Attack it will be with
great difficulty if I get liberty.---
A Second flagg came up this Afternoon

came very late to relieve
us but in the Afternoon our Colours
& Standards were finished & braught home.
