I arrived here last Thursday noon, was detained by the way, two days on business, & three by rain. Congress is informed by Letter from Genl. Washington,(1) that the N. Hampshire line are to Winter near Westpoint (where the Army from Kings-Ferry have taken Winter Quarters) & that the Rhode-Isleland line supply their place. The Affair of Vermont is now before Congress, it does not appear likely that there will be a final determination on the matter at present. The Deligates from N. Hampshire wish to have particular Instructions respecting the same. Mr. Gilman informs me that he has wrote to your Honrs. on the subject.(2) I am with due Respect your Honours Humble Servt,
P. White
RC (PHi: Jenkins Old Congress Collection).
