Head quarters Tawamensing 12th Octor. 1777—
Honl. Sir, I am favoured with yours of the 29th Sepr. as to the Recruiting Accounts of the Regiment that was mine, it gives me much Uneasiness that Mr. Abell has not been able for one Reason & another to Settle them – I hope Mr. Peek will be able to account for all the money he has received on this S[illeg], but I am pretty certain there will be a Balance against him.
I wrote you Col Bradley had both Lieut. Morris & 31 Men – the Lt. & 20 men are Prisoners in Philada.
Genl. Washington has published in Orders that the Continental Frigate Randolph lately fell in with a Fleet of five of the Enemy’s Ships & took four of them, one of them mounting 20 Guns & another 8 all richly laden –
13th . Our Row Gallies by a crop Five upon a Battery raising against Fort Mifflin obliged the Enemy to Surrender themselves, a Captain two Subs & 50 with 3 Brass twelve pounders. -- -- -- fell into our Hands. –
17th. we are now at Worcester 21 from Miles from Philada. & about 13 from the Enemy’s Lines – from this Place the Attack on Saturday was made. – The Enemy with all their Efforts by Land & Water have not been able to do much against our Four? & Cheveux de Frise in the River –
Every new information from the City magnifies
Jaber Huntington Esqr.
The Loss of the enemy in the late Action – they begin to despair of removing the Obstacles to their Navigation in the Delaware – the Consequence is the must leave Philada. – Flour sells in the City at three pounds the hundred the inhabitants can hardly get it at any Rate – Wheat sells in the neighborhood of our Camp at 5 Shilling this Money the Bushell & the Farmers glad to get that Price –
I am dear Sir with Compliments
to all is due your affectionate Son
Jed Huntington
You could not buy a Load
Of Wood in the City for
50 half Joannes –
indeed there is no such thing –

Peeks Kill 29 Sepr. 1777
Dear Sir,
I have not sold your Mint Water although I have sent to a Number of People who were likely to be Purchasers. As I am to have this Place Tomorrow I don’t think of any thing better than to put into Mr. Flints Store, desiring Mr. Flint to take care of it ‘till he hears from you. ----
We learn that General Howe is in Possession of Philadelphia. --- the Acquisition will highly gratify his Pride but I hope it will not finally prove any essential Injury to our Cause – his Troubles and Embarrassments may thicken upon it as Burgoynes did after Ticonderoga fell into his hands —had the Militia of the Southern States exerted themselves as they might have done Howes Army would not have been a mouthful for them – but I cannot learn as they have been of any Service to Genl. Washington. I devoutly pray that of New England & this State will have a better Account to give of Burgoyne, he will fall into their Hands according to human Reasoning. If they half do this Duty – my love to Sister H. I am packing up the third Time --- Your Brother
Jed Huntington

Peeks kill Sept 26 1777
Hon Sir,
Last Monday General Howe was about 20 miles from Philadelphia marching up the Southside of Schuylkill—General Washington army were part of them on this side the river keeping pace with him & part in his Rear.
General McDougall crossed Coryell Ferry on Delaware Tuesday & probably was up with Schuylkill Wednesday night – PS. Sept 27th.
General Howe has maneuvered General Washington into his Rear –34 miles from Philadelphia & is now on this side of the Schuylkill between Genl Washington and Philadelphia—so that I see not but he will certainly get into Philadelphia without much opposition---------Genl Varnum and I are ordered to join the grand Army near Philadelphia-our baggage goes over the River tomorrow the Troops will march the most Day—what may be sent to me I wish directed to Major Huntington who is coming up from White Plains.------
I am this Day favoured with Yours & [illeg]----Yours of the 20th is not to hands.
I am affectionately
Your Son
Jed Huntington
Letters sent to me had best be directed to the care of General Putnam who will have frequent opportunity of forwarding them to me.
