Their bank bills are now refused by their best friends...This day General Howe received a letter from General Burgoyne wherein he acquaints him that he is entering the back settlements of New York so that we shall soon have the rebels between two fires. Washington & Putnam command the forces there...General Howe will act on the defensive till the Generals Carleton and Burgoyne arrive with their army from Canada near to New York..." with more.
