General Putnam to Governor Clinton.

Fishkill, 27 October, 1777.

DEAR GOVERNOR,

As I am informed by your brother, General James Clinton, with whom I had the pleasure to dine to-day, that you were at Pleasant Valley, this waits on you to desire your advice and counsel at head-quarters with all convenient despatch, upon some interesting matters, as the enemy have evacuated Peekskill, Fort Montgomery, and all adjacent posts, and gone down the river with their whole fleet. With esteem and respect, I am, affectionately,

Your obedient, humble servant,

ISRAEL PUTNAM.
