Daniel Carroll to Thomas Sim Lee

I have just returnd from the Country & write this in Congress by Express, & therefore cannot answer a Letter of yours which the Major writes me is on his table at home. I suppose the Marquis has informd you that the Enemy have returnd & disembarqu’d in York River.

A Letter from Genl. Green of the 17th Ulto. from the Hights of Santee gives us an acct. of his Movements since the raising of the seige of 96. The particulars will be given you by to morrows post. I shall therefore only say that 96 is evacuated. The Enemy were at Orangeburgh - on their retreat to that place, Capt. Eccleston with a part of Col. Lees Legion had taken 3 Officers & 45 privates of the Enemies calvalry with the horses &c.

A Vessel is just arrivd from Cadiz which she left, I believe about the last of June. I have not heard fully the intelligence. To morrows post will probably give me an opportunity of saying something to you. The express waits.

Yrs Dr Sr.
