Letter from General Mifflin to William Duer

v2:1254

MEMORANDUM.

For the present (and until the other places can be fixed upon) I think it will be proper to erect Barracks at some place a mile or two eastward from the mouth of Peekskill, and another set of Barracks at some place about two or three miles eastern from Fishkill landing, or near Fishkill town. This will be sufficient employment until other places can be pointed out. The houses had best be about thirty-six feet long by nineteen feet broad, and about seven feet in the upright on each side.

STIRLING.
GEORGE CLINTON.

October 26, 1776.
