scnted it at this early day on account of the ad

/ Hudson towards Albany it became necessary fol-
her father who then commanded the American,
| army, to construct bridge across the river
over half a mile in length; the whole cost OF
which furnished from her fathers private
purse, that when General Burgoyne was retreat
| ing he caused the mansion house, stores, mills,

erwith the trials imposed by an Invalid and

lies upon the patriotism and Justice OF Congress
