From Brigadier General Jedediah Huntington

[Springfield] Monday Morning 15 may [1780]

Dear Sir,

The Officer on Command at Newark informs me that four Square rigd Vessels & 14 others went up Hackinsack River last Evening—three of the Vessels appeared to have Some Troops on board & they had a Number of flat Boats.1

Our Guards could not be all relieved before this day—I expect to march to morrow2—and am, your Excellency most obedient Servant
