Alexander Hamilton to John Hazelwood, February 5, 1778

Head Quarters Valley forge February 5th 1778

Sir,

It is his Excellency’s desire, that you have all the public boats below the falls, 2 removed as expeditiously as possible to Coryells ferry, or higher, as you may think necessary for their safety. Their present situation exposes them to being destroyed or taken without much difficulty, and we should feel the loss of them.

I am Sir   Your most Obd Serv

Alex Hamilton ADC
