154From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, 8 November 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
Morgan with the whole of the light troops has crossed into Washington County. Dispositions of different corps are making to strike at once in the most disaffected scenes.

I have returned to this place from Union Town. A letter from Governor Lee which goes with this probably informs you of the plan of future operations —but lest it should not I shall briefly state it.

The Light Corps with the Jersey Infantry and Brigade of Cavalry are at Indian Creek in Legonien Valley, where they continue, ’till this division get up, which will be this Evening, as the march will commence in an hour.
