Excerpt from The Magazine of American History With Notes and Queries, Vol. 7
Wilmington and Charleston, the seaports of the Carolinas, were still in the hands of the British, and Admiral Graves, with a powerful fleet, lay at anchor in the harbor of New York, and on the withdrawal of the French would again become the master of the entire coast, from Rhode Island to Georgia. If the Southern ports were to be recovered, imme diate action was an imperative necessity, and the Cooperation of the squadron of de Grasse an essential condition of success. On his arrival the French admiral had announced that his presence on the American coast was but an incident in his general plan of campaign, and the day fixed for his rendezvous 'with the Spanish admiral, for operations in the waters of the Antilles, was now close at hand.
