| Abstract | Letter from Richard Vaux to his brother James discussing his return home to London from Philadelphia. Richard describes his departure as sudden, unexpected, and clandestine. Richard writes that General Washington's position nearing the city of Philadelphia has made it unsafe for him, a loyalist, to travel to Vaux Hill to visit before departing. Richard also shares news of family from Aunt Sparrow, and other developments between Washington and British forces. | ||
