GENERAL LEE TO GENERAL HEATH.

Camp Philipsburg, November 21st, 1776.

DEAR GENERAL: I yesterday received your note, for which I thank you; but had before received the intelligence of the enemy' s having landed in the Jersey. Colonel Reed has written me a short billet that I do not well understand. I shall be obliged to you for some account of the condition and progress of your barracks, and what number of men they are or will be capable of lodging, and what is the state of your defences, should you be attacked; as of likewise your numbers, and how they are stationed. If you have any sketch of the country, be so kind as to favour me with it; and am, dear General, yours most sincerely,

CHARLES LEE.

General Heath, Peekskill.
