General Sullivan to General Heath

v3:1233

GENERAL SULLIVAN TO GENERAL HEATH.

SIR: I have altered my route to Easton, where I now intend to cross Delaware if possible this night, as I have intelligence of a large body of the enemy being about twenty miles yesterday afternoon on my left. They may possibly intercept your march, therefore would advise you to take no notice of my line of march here, but follow the straightest direction to Easton. This, I am informed, is from Morris-Town to Black River, thence to or near Hackett' s Town, thence to Easton is, I am told, a good road to facilitate your march.

Dear sir, I am your most obedient servant,

JNO˙ SULLIVAN.

Major-General Heath.
