264 CALENDAR OF THE GREENE CORRESPONDENCE. [April 6, 
CuaseE, THomas (Col.) (continued ) : 
to procure teams, must call on Mr. Smith of Springfield, Mr. - 
Hubbard of Hartford, for assistance. Admires Gen. Heath’s 
tent ; wishes four or five like it. Vol. vi, No. rog. 
1779.—September 29. West Point.—Sorry to inform him that 
there is great complaint against him in the Commissary Gen- 
eral’s department for want of teams to bring forward the pub- 
lic stores to West Point; does not understand the reason of 
this, the roads being good and teams plentiful. Sets forth the 
serious harm resulting from any delay in hurrying forward the 
stores. Vol. iv, No. 27. 
CLINTON, GEORGE (Gov.): 
1779.—June 28. Smith's Clove.—Col. Hay in immediate want of 
about $100,000; begs the Governor to loan that sum to the 
department, promising to replace it in a week or two in the 
treasury. Most of the money to be appropriated for the In- 
dian expedition. Col. Hay will avait upon him for an answer. 
Vol. vi, No. 97. 
Cox, JoHN (Col.): 
1779.—/June 6. Ringwood.—Enemy’s designs difficult to interpret 
from his movements ; they have fallen back to King’s Ferry 
again, after being in full view of fortifications at West Point, 
without attempting to make any impression upon the works. 
Loss of a little fort by Gen. McDougal on the east side of 
King’s Ferry. Enemy’s purpose to cut off their communica- 
tion with the Eastern States. Difficulty of subsisting their 
cattle and keeping up the necessary transportation through 
such a barren country. Plans for subsisting the troops in case 
West Point is invested, and for transporting provisions and 
forage. Necessity for removing clothing at Middlebrook as 
fast as possible to somewhere back of Morristown. 
Vol. vi, No. 27. 
1779.—/June 9. Camp, Smith's Tavern.—Acknowledging favor of 
4th inst. Will rest satisfied in full expectation of plentiful sup- 
ply of stores. Will lay his letter before the General in order to 
have an officer appointed to the command of the watermen ; 
conflicting accounts from that quarter. Directions as to for- 
warding the stores back into the country from Middlebrook.
