Notes: "Official letters ... to the colony and state of Rhode Island, to governors Nicholas Cooke, William Greene and John Collins ... [the] letters relate almost entirely to military affairs ... a few letters ... of courtesy, acknowledgment and thanks ... also letters conveying information and direction about current events.  But above everything else Washington needed soldiers."-p. 5.
