Identifier(s): apsrevcity:22857
Description: Letter from George Washington to Nathanael Greene. Headquarters - Acknowledging favor of 28th inst. Nothing can be done toward the Canada expedition that winter; scanty supply of provisions afforded by the country at the head of Connecticut River. Will forbid the sending up of flour from Albany. Collecting and repairing of bateaux. Has fixed upon Danbury, West Point and Middlebrook for cantoning the army during the winter; number of brigades at these points to be regulated by the strength of the enemy. Probability of throwing a regiment into the Clove near Sufferans and placing a brigade at Albany. If the enemy keep a garrison at New York it will be of sufficient strength to repel any attack the Americans could make; would therefore lay aside all idea of collecting his force suddenly and extend his view to more remote cantonments. Good barracks at Trenton and Burlington; also wheat and mills in the vicinity. Advises removing provisions from the Sound to the foot of the mountain. Necessity of collecting materials for hutting.; American Philosophical Society
