19,,
[Bracket: Anchored at
the mouth of
York River.]Two of our schooners in
tow broke loose last night
in the storm. We had a
most pleasant sail through the
Chesapeake. Now we are waiting
for the rest of the fleet to come
up. We may debark this p.m.
I hope as; for tomorrow is Sunday
and I want to see us encamped
if possible.
