TO MRS. MADISON.[89]

Brookville Aug 27th 10 oclock
My Dearest,

Finding that our army has left Montgomery C. H.
we pushed on to this place, with a view to join it, or
proceed to the City, as further information might prescribe.
I have just recd. a line from Col Monroe
saying that the enemy were out of Washington & on
the retreat to their ships, & advising our immediate
return to Washington. We shall accordingly set out
thither immediately, you will all of course take the
same resolution. I know not where we are in the
first instance, to hide our heads; but shall look for a
place on my arrival Mr Rush offers his house in the
six buildings & the offer claims attention. Perhaps
I may fall in with Mr Cutts & have the aid of his
advice. I saw Mr Bradley at Montgomery C. H. who
told me that Mr Cutts was well. Jamey will give
you some particulars truly yours.

P. S I have not time to write, since the above it is
found necessary to detain Jamey & send a trooper.

From the family papers of the late J. Henley Smith, Esq., of
Washington.
