| Abstract | Letter from William Alexander to Nathanael Greene. Baskinridge - Concerning the choice of suitable quarters for the army. As a result of a five days' search, mentions the situation which he thinks preferable to any in New Jersey. Plenty of wood and water there, and though not many comfortable houses for the quarters of General officers, still enough to make shift with. Will join his division in a day or two unless His Excellency should wish him to remain where he is. Intelligence of a fleet sailing from New York with 800 troops said to be fore the West Indies; no such news at General Maxwell's quarters, but certain that they are preparing for an embarkation. | ||
