Miraculous Convergence & Yorktown

"The first necessity [of the Yorktown campaign] was to arrange the meeting of French naval and American land forces on the Virginia coast at a specified time and place. The junction in Virginia had to be coordinated by two different national commands separated across an ocean without benefit of telephone, telegraph or wireless. That this was carried out without a fault seems accountable only by a series of miracles."
— Scholar Barbara Tuchman in "The First Salute"
Moving an army in 18th century America was no easy task. Bridges were nearly non-existent; roads were trails; forage was always inadequate to the needs of thousands of men and animals.
On August 14, 1781, Washington and the French general Rochambeau received word from Comte de Grasse, the admiral of the French fleet, that he would be arriving off the coast of Virginia in mid-September. De Grasse would remain in the Chesapeake area for a month, until the expected seasonal heavy weather forced him south again.
Here was an opportunity to trap Cornwallis in Virginia, but to do so meant that not one, but two armies---one speaking English, one French---would have to travel 500 miles over local roads in a coordinated assault with a navy that was, at the time de Grasse's letter arrived, sailing somewhere in the Atlantic.
To further complicate matters, the American and French armies would have to leave their encampments in New York in the face of the large British army stationed there. If a whiff of their intentions wafted toward British lines, the British would certainly engage the allied armies.

<h3>What was the significance of the Republic of Letters project?</h3>
The Republic of Letters is the long-distance intellectual community inside the late seventeenth and 18th centuries in Europe and the Americas. It fostered verbal exchange between the various intellectuals of the Age of Enlightenment or philosophes as they have been referred to in France.
Franklin's proposed alphabet protected seven letters to represent vowels. This set consisted of new letters, further to 5 letters from the present English alphabet: a, e, i, o, u. the first new letter was fashioned as a ligature of the letters o and a and used to represent the sound [ɔ] (as written in IPA).
