Jeremiah Wadsworth to Alexander Hamilton, November 20, 1778

Camp Fredg [New York] Novr 20th: 1778

Sir.

I will be at Hd. Quarters tomorrow morning & take his Excys directions—have no doubt, I shall be able to prevent any very great evil from the misconception you believe to have happened. I cannot believe as Colo Bland doth that the officer commanding the Connecticut Militia has been honestly engaged to bring them on; and am satisfyed my Countrymen have too much pride not to follow when they are led by an honest man.

I am Sir   Your most obed.

Jere Wadsworth CGP.
