Summary
Personal letter. What do they think of Deane's letters. Defeat of Cornwallis gave her the pleasurable thought that they would be home soon. The lack of terms for Loyalists in Cornwallis' capitulation make the Tories uneasy, and they are leaving for Europe or attempting to reconcile themselves with the United States.
