| Abstract | Letter from Nathanael Greene to John Cox. Ringwood - Enemy's designs difficult to interpret from his movements; they have fallen back to King's Ferry again, after being in full view of the fortifications at West Point, without attempting to make any impression upon the works. Loss of a little of fort by General McDougall on the east side of King's Ferry. Enemy's purpose to cut off their communication with the Eastern States. Difficulty of subsisting their cattle and keeping up the necessary transportation through such a barren country. Plans for subsisting the troops in case West Point is invested, and for transporting provisions and forage. Necessity for removing clothing at Middlebrook as fast as possible to somewhere back of Morristown. | ||
