Extract of a letter from Albany, July 3, 1782.
We have been very unexpectedly honored with a visit from
the Commander in Chief. . . [11 lines] Brigadier Gen.
Gansevort, with forty volunteers, escorted him to Saratoga,
where, after surveying the theatre of the glorious campaign
of 1777, he reviewed the first regiment of New-Hampshire,
and examining the block-houses at that place. From thence
he went the next day, to Schenectady; five miles from which
he was received by sixty of the principal inhabitants on
horseback, who attended him into the town amidst the ringing
of bells, firing of cannon. . .
