The same Movement which was mentioned in my Letter of the 14th will be made this Evening—you will observe the same line of Conduct as pointed out in that Letter; using particular vigilance to discover every motion of the Enemy, especially to morrow night—I shall absolutely depend upon it, that the Enemy cannot move a single Vessel or Boat up the River or have any thing in agitation, without your immediately obtaining & communicating the knowledge of it to the Commanding Officer at Dobbs Ferry, & Col. Scammell or the officer on our Right.

You will please to deliver a Whale Boat to Capt. Bushnell on his Order. I am Sir your Hble Servt.
