Abstract:
Mentions Gerard visiting camp. Notes men gathering on the Jersey shore. Will send Congressional journals as they are published and will copy extracts of other journals. Mentions Lee heading to South Carolina and his secretary's pay. No further news of "the Enemies movements worth notice since their Evacuation of R[hode] Island." General [John] Sullivan returned, having "accomplished the designs of his Mission." Not surprised by news "of a Certain Genl. being under arrest." Notes developments concerning "Counterfeit Continental money" and the trial and impending execution of men. "...as to our finances, no material alteration in Congress-- but out of Doors the Devil himself Reigns Triumphant." Notes New York delegates [Philip] Schuyler, [James] Duane, General [John Morin] Scot[t], [William?] Floyd, and [Ezra] L[']Hommedieu. References struggles between New York and New Hampshire delegates over grants and a manifesto published in "Dunlaps Paper."
