| CONTENT DESCRIPTION | |||
| Abstract | Richard Bache begins his letter to Benjamin Franklin by discussing the disruption of letters by British Ships. He discusses that the British seem to have Philadelphia "as their object". However, because George Washington's troops outnumber the British, Bache does not think that the British will attempt to take Philadelphia. He describes the successes of the New Jersey Militia and the Regiment of Rifle Men in their scouting and patrolling. Bache sends his love to his son and his nephew. | ||
