PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.
In CONGRES S, November 14, 1776.
Copy of a letter to the President from Major Gen. Gates,
dated at Ticonderoga, November 5, 1776.
" Sir—l have the honor to congratulate the Congress upon
the retreat of Lieutenant-General Sir Guy Carleton, with the
fleet and army under his command, from Crownpoint.—
Saturday last, the works being put in the best order, the boom
and bridge of communication finished, and every necessary
preparative for defence made, I determined to fend a detach
ment down each tide of the lake, to beat up the enemy's
quarters at their advanced post on Putnam's point and the op
posite shore. About eight at night the detachment, under
the command of Major Delap, proceeded down the east fide
of the lake, and the other, under Col. Conner, down the weft
fide. Sunday morning Major Delap, with his detachment,
took possession of Putnam's point, which the enemy had just
abandoned ; and immediately detached a subaltern, with a
small party, to reconnoitre Crownpoint. The officer,
having returned, reported that he saw the enemy embark, a
number of their vessels under fail, and the whole preparing
to get under way. Col. Conner, on taking possession of the
poll opposite to Putnam's point, found that likewise abandon
ed. Yesterday an officer, and a party whom I sent to Crown
point returned, and reported he had been at Crownpoint
with the inhabitants there ; that the enemy were all gone from
that post, and the inhabitants would come this day to Ticon
deroga, to make their submission, and beg the protection of
the United States. 1 have the honor to be, &c.
HORATIO GATES.
" P. S. This will be delivered to you by my firft Aid de
Camp, Major Stuart, a deserving officer."
