            From this courier and from the English papers, it is surmised that Charleston is well
            defended. Intelligence also indicates that British are withdrawing troops from outposts
            around New York, and that an invasion fleet left Havana for Florida. Hopes that air at
            Madrid will restore John Jay's health.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
