Written from Elizabethtown, present-day Elizabeth, New Jersey. Had expected to leave for Philadelphia today but the commissioners for the enemy have not agreed on their propositions yet.

Hopes to be able to leave in four days, and explains that because of the delay, he may only be able to stay in Philadelphia with her and their children for a week.
