Letter from Thomas McDonough Com. MacDonough wrote to Peter Sailly, Collector of Customs: I have rec'd only this morning your favr of 29th ultimo, owing to the impartibility of crossing the Lake. It will do no good to growl; but I may observe that we are going to be in a desperate situation on the shores of this lake as long as the British can navigate it, Stop all Communication and plunder our Shores. The letter is written with evident hast, with several erasures and changes. An inventory of military stores such as boxes of candles, soap, pounds of beef, pork, etc. occupies the margin.
