Fourth day. I feel
in a most unsettled humour. I can neither read, work or give my attention one
moment to anything. It is too true that Cornwallis is taken. Tilghman is just
arrived with dispatches from Washington which confirm it. B. S. came here and
shewed us some papers; long conversations we often have together on the
melancholy situation of things.
