Description
No news, but writes this lest Caldwell be perplexed with vague reports; relates Washington's movements and meeting with French Admiral; report by English officers of Green's defeat by Balfour, also a letter from the army with details of the battle of Monk's Corner where Green killed and took 1006 British; Col. Washington wounded; daily expect further intelligence; enquires as to affairs on Staten Island as it was inadvisable to keep the [New Jersey] militia on foot a moment unnecessarily.
