George Washington's Accounts of Expenses While Commander-in-Chief
of the
Continental Army 1775-1783. With Annotations by John C. Fitzpatrick.--vol.
01
(Fitzpatrick)
[excerpt: DEBIT ENTRIES
The route of the army was by way of Doylestown and Coryell's Ferry.
the orders for June 19 are dated from
Doctor Shannon's, and on June 20 £1 17s. 6d. were distributed
in gratuities to Shannon's servants. June 21,
at Coryell's Ferry, John Fell was paid £6 for breakfast, dinner,
and supper for the Commander-in-Chief and
his suite. June 23, in Hopewell, New Jersey, the orders are dated from
Hunt's house and Richard Holcombe
was paid £10 17s. 6d.; June 25, Washington was at Kingston; June
26, at Cranberry; and June 27, at
Penolopen and Englishtown. Early in the morning of June 28, the army
moved on Monmouth and about noon
came in contact with the enemy. The British were forced from the field
and, that night, leaving their dead and
wounded behind, they retreated so silently that Poor's Brigade, which
lay nearest them, was unaware of the
movement. On discovering the enemy's escape, Washington, the next morning,
took up his march toward the
Highlands of the Hudson by way of Englishtown, Brunswick, and Paramus.]
