Description
Mr. Hillegas can find no entry, other than that enclosed, concerning the $1500, part of the $3000 ordered by Congress in 1776 for the Flying Camp Battalion from Delaware; General Patterson's vouchers should show the receipt of that sum; it must have been paid, since Captain Dunn received the first $1500; the Battalion could not have proceeded to Jersey without obtaining it; bill for establishing a General Judiciary has been sent by the Senate to the House; the Senate decided, by the casting vote of the Vice-President, in favor of the President's sole power of removal, independent of the Senate; news from Albany of the choice of General Philip Schuyler and Rufus King for the New York senators.
