Summary
Acknowledges receipt of 15 June. New Windsor, where Washington has stayed for two days, is closer to the forts and is easily accessible to different parts of the army. According to latest reports, the enemy at King's Ferry was ready to move either up or down the river. In the enclosed New York gazette, the representation of affairs in the south is disagreeably different from the intelligence Washington has already received. In hand of Alexander Hamilton.
