| Abstract | Letter from John Cox to Nathanael Greene. Bloomsbury - Enclosing invoice of stores going and gone. Amount of supplies furnished by Colonel Mitchell. Colonel Davis writes of the scarcity of forage. Wages of boatmen engaged by Colonel Morgan. Boats cannot proceed up the river without a sufficient guard to defend them and there is not a soldier there for that purpose. Asks for advice about horses sent to Mr. Furman who has no forage for them. Road to be opened across the great swamp to Wyoming. Fears that unless spirited measures are taken the populace are likely to think the Staff department composed of rascals. Maj. Blodget weather-bound at Bloomsbury, diverting the ladies on the spinet. | ||
