Letters of Delegates to Congress: Volume 7 May 1, 1777 - September 18, 1777
Samuel Chase to Thomas Johnson
Dear Sir, Philada. Septr. 9th. 1777.Tuesday I have no letter from you by yesterdays Post. Mr. Lux informs me that you have regular and quick Intelligence from Head Quarters. We are in daily expectation of a Battle. Howe's whole army are on this side of Iron Hill, in three Divisions. Howes head-quarters are at Aitkens tavern, Cornwallis at Coaches Mill, and Kniphausen near Christiana Bridge.
Mr. Rittenhouse has a claim against our state for 103 1/2 Dollars for the plates for printing our money. Shall I pay it?
If the fleet is gone down our Bay, I think Annapolis and Baltimore will be safe this Year.
My compliments to the Gentlemen of the Council. Your Affectionate and obedient Servt. Saml Chase
P.S. An officer just from Camp informs the Enemy are advancing.(1)
Tr ( MdHi ) .
1 The next day Chase sent Johnson another letter-under the dateline "Philada. Sept. 10. 1777. Wesday. P.M. I o'Clock"-which consisted of nothing but Washington's September 9 letter to President Hancock and a concluding sentence: "I have but a Moment & send You all the Intelligence in my Power." Etting Signers Collection, PHi. For Washington's letter, see Washington, Writings (Fitzpatrick), 9:197-98.
