Oliver Smith, went to Rhode Island, and among them were some from Stonington who lived near my father's house. according to my best recollection, they went off in August and were gone upon the expedition a few days over six weeks. I cannot fix the year only by stating that it was the same year in which the French fleet was dismasted and the expedition failed on that account. It is strongly in my recollection that Gen. Sullivan commanded the army, but I cannot certainly depose that he did.
