Description
He has learned that two companies purpose setting out this evening to join the enemy; they will be assembled before daylight at a house five miles from New Windsor, where a party will intercept them if possible; Clinton must keep out scouting parties, especially in the neighborhood of Smith's tavern; the men have all procured or forged passes; every man found on the road must be held; there is a regular officer among them, who has been concealed for some time in the country.
