From George Washington to Robert Howe, 21 June 1781
Head Quarters New Windsor June 21. 1781
Dear Sir
I have received your favor of last Night—The Measures which have been taken in consequence of the information, appear to me, to have been very proper.
When our Officers on the Lines are thus apprised, should the Enemy presume to make an incursion, I cannot but flatter myself they will be made to suffer for their temerity. I am Dr Sr With great regard &c.
