Camp, Rocky River, Oct. 9th, 1780,
9 oClock A. M.

Sir:

Altho' I have nothing new to communicate, I think it proper to continue Expresses daily. By his Lordship's Orders of yesterday to draw two days' provisions & be in readiness to make a movement, appears probable. My parties of Observation have not sent Reports this day.

I have the Honor to be, &c., &c., &c.
Signed,
WM. DAVIDSON.

P. S. Colo. Davie is very sick. I don't know what I should do should he be rendered unfit of Duty.
