Was happy to receive her last letter, though sounded as if she was in some distress; hopes the distress was simply that she missed him: "This implication I hope however is the consequence of an ardent affection. I am mortified that I have been so long absent from you, but I now think that we shall be able to get away from here tomorrow." Believes that they may stop "one day at Morris perhaps to make our report to the General and in two days afterwards be in Philadelphia." Sends love to the children and to the Biddle family, with whom Lucy and their children are staying.
