Says You will please to inform the general that it is moral[ly] impossible for me to join the party at New Windsor to morrow, agreeable to the promptery orders I Received, Except it is meant to destroy me, and what little I have left in this ungrateful Service.

Says he cannot comply with orders because of a situation that requires my care, and stay, untill Thursday next, without matters are so pressing, that I must sacrifice all.
