Your Excellencys Favor of the 15th did not reach me until this day—I shall lay it before the Governor & Council of Safety who have the Disposal of the rejected Recruits—& afterwards give the necessary Orders to the Mustering Officers—I see but a small Prospect of geting many more Recruits but as the State have fixed on the 20th of next Month as the ultimatum, I think best to have the mustering...
The cold Season drawing near, admonishes Mrs Huntington of the Necessity of leaving her present Habitation—she proposes, therefore, to move next Week to New York in order to take Passage by Water to Norwich—the State of the Connecticut Line & my own affairs will, I expect, allow me to follow her soon after—we join in the most respectful Compliments to Mrs Washington & your Excellency, and...

I did myself the Honor of writing your Excellency the 8th inst. since which I am requested to have a greater Number of Officers to muster the Recruits. the Council of Safety wish to have one in each Militia Brigade, which are six. whenever the Recruits are ready to march to Camp, some Officers and Sergeants will be wanted to conduct them; that Period will not be before the 1st of May as the...
The affairs of the 2nd Connecticut Battalion, by I know not what Fatality, seem to be in more Confusion than any other. just after General Putnam left Camp the three inclosed Arrangements were brought me from his Aid de Camp to forward to Head Quarters, I have numbered them 1, 2, 3; in N. 1, Lieut. Woolcot obtains his Rank which crowds Capt. Ten Eyck down to a Capt. Lieut. upon which Col....
hearing that the River is clear of the Enemy, I am thus far on my way to the Mouth of the Clove I shall reach it at sunset & halt for the Night, or, if it is thought best, halt here till Night & make a Night March towards Kings ferry which will enable me to cross the River by Tomorrow Night—As the Wind is down the River I think there will be no Danger in attempting to pass tomorrow—I have sent...
