| Abstract | Informs her that Gen. [Henry] Knox ordered him to Englishtown to attend a wounded officer and mentions other wounded officers; describes the village of Englishtown and mentions that its situation makes fever and ague flourish and that the place is naturally poor and rendered poorer because the army encamped there a few days; informs her that he went to see two Tories executed at Monmouth Court House, [N.J.) "but they were turned off a few minutes before I arrived"; mentions the arrival of the French ambassador to Congress [Conrad Alexandre Gerard) and the arrival of the French fleet off Sandy Hook; expresses hope that the British will leave America in a few months and that each Continental regiment will be sent to its own state; [postscript): informs her that when the British marched through New Jersey they burned houses and plundered "without distinction of Whig or Tory" and remarks: "fine! encouragement for Tories." | ||
